Description

This novel was created by computer software called ALMA for Artificial Linguistic Machine Algorithm programmed by David Cope in 2019 and described in detail in his book The Creative Machine (2020). ALMA is capable of producing over 2,432,902,008,176,640,000(or two-and-a-half quintillion) other novels without human intervention except initiating the software to do so (usually takes less than a half-second per book). This is the first novel to be thus created (apologies for the occasional lack of punctuation marks and capitalizations). For those expecting a hundred-thousand-word first attempt, I mention Hemmingway's The Old Man and the Sea (winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1953) as example of a short masterpiece: barely twenty-seven-thousand words while this book is filled with over thirty-thousand (not that we're keeping track). At this point, I am still fine-tuning the ALMA software attempting to smooth out its remaining rough edges. So the output will come out at different times maybe a month or so apart. Hopefully, you will discover fewer and fewer mistakes, and paragraphs that you may find difficult to understand or even translate into English. This is the second output of a series, the book titled Futures Past being the first. I'm doing this in an attempt to keep the record accurate if there should be interest in the future, people may find the order intact and, to my embarrassment, as inaccurate as it may be.
