These are some texts generated from scanned original of various origins which were then put through Optical Character Recognition with intentionally awful settings, then spell checked. During the spell check, if the computer had a suggestion, I accepted it. If it hadn't a clue, I took my turn free assosiating. Together we have managed to make these Cyber Mad-Libs which seem to be genuine artifacts of cyborg anthopology and oftime enjoyable. I do regrammatise the texts with a light hand and Dystopea is unedited and a bit more tiresome because of its length. Feel free to post them if they are computer generated enough. After the initial scan I would estimate more than fifty percent is just creative missuse of prexisting software. Anyway, I'm a writer, not a stickler but get back to me. I'm working on a hypertext version of some of these and also have a forward for The Purity of Little Oils (novelnovel) some where.

Congratulation on your obscurantist's site. Oddity is quick to take root.
