Heroic Real Estate Otter of the 21st Century is the latest collective novel from Brendan Howell's exquisite_code project. The book was written by seven writers at Inspace on the 2nd November 2012. The process delegated by a brutalist-brut software edit machine, known as The Maggot.

The Maggot is a bastard editor. It is a software worm that ruthlessly delegates and mediates the work of a group of writers, simultaneously composing a collective text. This book is the the chewed-up corpse of the corpus that arose, an endless paper record that piled up on the floor.
