2020 Elections

2020 Elections

NaNoGenMo, 2020

This NanoNaNoGenMo novel seeks to capture the experience of the 2020 US Elections. It is generated by a perl script adapted from my 2019 novel Thanksgiving.

perl -e 'sub n{(split/ /,"CNN CBS NBC ABC FOX NYT WaPo HuffPo NPR BBC Twitter Facebook cried celebrated worried relaxed")[rand 16]}print"2020 Elections\nLeo Flores\n\nI voted and checked ".n;for(;$i<26000;$i++){print" and ".n}print" and finally rested.\n"'

Credits: Huge thanks to Nick Montfort, who provided the inspiration with his Nano-NaNoGenMo spinoff concept, which lowered the technical bar enough for me to adapt Milton Läufer's code for "A Plot."
