Ficciones by Jorge Jorge Luis Borges is a collection of short stories containing a broad spectrum of themes ranging from sci-fi to philosophy. It is clear that books and films following its publication in 1962 have taken direct inspiration from the worlds Borges creates in only a few pages. Inception is undoubtedly inspired by one short story, The Circular Ruins, which introduces the notion of dreams within dreams. People claim to have read Ficciones’ short stories, but, as far as I can tell, few people understand them.More
