There's a ted chiang story that stuck with me. It was about a tower of babel so tall that bringing building supplies up takes days. Or maybe its a Borges story about an infinite tower so repetitive to climb that slight variations start suggesting a mind in the stone. Honestly, all those meditations on the infinite start blurring together after a while.
