I always think that Lucy Mangan is at her best when enthusing about literature, but in today's Cable Girl, she excels herself despite the vaguely televisual subject matter. She name checks Borges' Library of Babel, discusses Dennett's expansion of the concept into the Library of Mendel in Darwin's Dangerous Idea and then goes on to discuss the strange concept of channel schedule shadowing and multi-dimensional TV guides in Dennettian terms. A classy fusion of high and low art.
