I loved this post! And I absolutely love the Library of Congress and have both visited it and passed it on the way to work many many times. I love your idea of books being a force multiplier and hence quantum in nature! It’s actually brilliant. It kind of reminds me of Borges’ Library of Babel and his hexagonal rooms and infinite knowledge, except there, the librarian becomes suicidal thinking that the knowledge is useless. Not the LOC!
