Could you please explain what's it?

And how does it work? It can search every possible book has written?

It's something like character-based embedding?

Also, it reminds me "category theory"

It's an implementation of the 'Library of Babel', as described by Borges in his short story of the same name. It is a library of every possible permutation of a limited alphabet, of books 1,312,000 characters long. The FAQ page [1] and the GitHub readme [2] explain it in much more detail.
