The author (of both the book in the demo and this software itself) is Robin Sloan. He publishes a couple email newsletters, all of which I recommend. Most recently he's been writing a development diary for a video game he's working on[0]. He published a handful of GPT-2 generated city descriptions based on a corpus of fantasy literature that was a lot of fun[1]. There's great content about the illustration style as well[2]. I recommend the follow.

- stevensawtelle 6y agoIt's a seriously cool feeling to see worlds collide like this. The first half of his book Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore is one of my favorite reads, but I had no idea he was actively programming as well (although it totally makes sense in retrospect).
- tqi 6y agoI also really enjoyed Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore. Looking back on it now I felt like it captured a more hopeful / innocent time in the way it technology and the ways it has changed our modern society.
