The Null Device

Egypt is rebuilding the fabled Library of Alexandria, razed in 632 by Caliph Omar, and by others before him. Though, the new library may be little more than a tourist trap; for one, Alexandria is not the cultural hub it was in the times of the ancients, and secondly, Egypt's Islamic censorship laws (which have already banned a number of authors from the library) may impair the library's credibility as an objective repository of learning from across the world.
