A list of publications, protest pamphlets, screeds #28

Description

@lee2sman

Using various corpora lists I'll perform some random selection from arrays to assemble a publication that indexes and summarizes a number of publications on various topics.

Would be nice to have it sound vaguely like the fictional books described in the beginning of a Borges story.

Should there be some ascii art images as well? pictures? something else?

I have a basic formula and I'm coding this in Lua. Something like tracery could make this a bit more dynamic.

cover: a (color) (object), made from (object).

A (publication) about (human universal) perpetuated by (industries).
by (english honorifics) (first names) (random word), (Location|setting).

"(ergative verb) the (human universal). (society|we|the people|our poor|the forgotten|the rest of us|the abused|the invisible people) must (verb) our (human universal). to be (resume action word) (preposition) (new technology) is to become (adj) for (industry)."

how it ends: (mood)

Example output currently:

Cover: a black matchbook, made out of pair of socks.
A essay about semantic category of other physical properties perpetuated by Oil & Energy. Written by Lord Lieutenant of Merseyside Dr Amelia.

"Swing the special speech for special occasions. the masses must unpack our males more prone to lethal violence to be determined beside flywheel energy storage is to become razed for Airlines/Aviation."
How it ends: Incensed.

Cover: a blue pair of tongs, made out of sandal.
A novella about conflict, means of dealing with perpetuated by Architecture & Planning. Written by Her Royal Highness Courtney.
"Train the beliefs about fortune and misfortune. The masses must train our generosity admired to be retrieved underneath green bullets is to become liberating for Research."
How it ends: Interested.

Hmm, there's a bug in there but it's late. Will spend time later this week cleaning it up. Also: definitely needs more variety. Will see if there's a *ery port to Lua or roll my own.
