Super atmospheric writing (was the writing also procedural?), and the world-building went very interesting places. I like the idea of having infinite time to read and observe but still being doomed for destruction. Not totally sure I grasped the point of it all, though.

Thanks! The main story isn't procedurally generated. The zines and tiny plots spat out by the machines are. To be quite honest, maybe I don't grasp the point of it either :P I tried to touch on many ideas, finding meaning when not much makes sense, infinity even in the tiniest things (for example, here is a not-so-well-kept secret: there is only one "room" in the library, you just keep reentering it from different points). For me the point of the story is mainly choice in making your own meaning, even in death. Not going gently into that good night, type of thing.
