Algoritmlitteratur

The Lost Books of the Odyssey av Zachary Mason berättar Odysséen genom 44 alternativa tagningar, enligt en artikel (och recension) i New York Times. Lite intressant att Mason är datavetare med artificiell intelligens som specialitet, och har jobbat med rekommendationssystem på Amazon:

He approaches literature almost as if it were a branch of science, governed by laws that are quantifiable and predictable, as when he talks of devising an algorithm, later discarded, to determine an optimum chapter order for his novel or when he compares writing to the annealing of metals.
