NaNoGenMo was a casual competition in fall 2013 to write code during the month of November that could generate a 50,000 word novel. It coincided with and is a reference to NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month, an annual event where humans attempt the same feat.
Almost impossible! Which was perhaps the point.
The prize is a single physical copy of the prize winner's selection from a list of generated novels, derived from an opt-in list of NaNoGenMo participants. The prize donor will generate the novel from the available code, typeset it, send it to a print on demand service and have it delivered to the winner.
Available novels and the author of their code are as follows:
In addition, Nick Montfort has graciously offered a printed copy of his professionally printed NaNoGenMo novel World Clock as a separate prize.
