Abstract
Computer-generated literature is emerging as a global community of practice, with author/programmers who are increasingly aware of each other’s work. Many participate in the annual online event NaNoGenMo (National Novel Generation Month), although there are other contexts, including small press publication, for computer-generated books. I consider the present state of computer-generated literary books, both digital and print, and discuss trends ranging from “nanoscale” programs to the use of cutting-edge language technologies within elaborately architected systems. I also describe connections to visual poetry, conceptual writing, and other literary movements and directions.
