  Ms Fnd in a Lbry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MS Fnd in a Lbry (probably intended to be spelled out "Manuscript Found in a Library") is a satirical science fiction short story about the information age by Hal Draper written in 1961.
The story is in the form of a report written by an anthropologist from an alien civilization who investigates the remains of our civilization several billion years into the future.
Presumably, the report was given the name "MS Fnd in a Lbry" after the fall of the anthropologist's civilization by another anthropologist from another alien civilization that is also heading down the same path.

 Ambient Irony: Pst Fnd in a Blg   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Ms Fnd in a Lbry is about the collapse of civilisation when the master index to the Great Library becomes corrupted, a quite remarkable insight given that the story was written in 1961.
The other key insight in the story is that the indexes, bibliographies and glossaries (not to mention the index to indexes, the bibliography of glossaries, and so on) so far outweigh the actual data that the data itself ends up getting lost.
If you can find Ms Fnd in a Lbry somewhere - it doesn't seem to have been posted to the web, which is something of a surprise since everything else has - then do read it, because not only is it both insightful and foresightful as I have said, it is also very funny.

The story of Ms Fnd in a Lbry is remarkably close to that of our information-crazed culture and its problems with things like the World Wide Web, Encyclopedians, Project Xanadu and Rosetta Disks, why it has been remembered as a very original and funny science fiction story.

 Imagining Futures, Dramatizing Fears
This fear underlies E M Forster's classic story 'The Machine Stops' (1909, in Lewis 1963), a horror story of complete dependence on machines written in response to what Forster saw as the irrational optimism of H G Wells's A Modern Utopia (1905, extract in Mowshowitz 1977).
In Hal Draper's 'Ms Fnd in a Lbry' (1961, in Mowshowitz 1977) information technology is both the effect and the cause of the information explosion.

I have finally found an online copy of the Hal Draper short story "MS Fnd in a Lbry" which I have referred to before on this page.
I have not yet read anything by Spider Robinson but I want to get hold of a copy "The Crazy Years", a recently published collection of essays whose title refers to Robert A. Heinlein's designation of the last years of the 20th century.
And talking about Science Fiction, I would love to get hold of a copy of the elusive 1961 Hal Draper's short story Ms Fnd in a Lbry which was mentioned in Pst Fnd in a Blg on the excellent Ambient Irony.

Impossible to include short stories in such a list, of course, but for its uncanny prescience (txting language, information compression and overload in 1961) a satire by the socialist activist Hal Draper MS Fnd in a Lbry should be mentioned in any list.
