Fun idea, but I was hoping it would actually form grammatically correct sentences. Also proper capitalization wouldn't be that hard to implement.

Basically markov chains trained on Gibsons books. Programming something like that is starting to feel like the "hello world" of information theory.

Looks like somebody even made a cyberpunk style markov generator:

I think the next step up from a markov chain is throwing the results into https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool and checking for grammatical correctness, and retrying each sentence until valid.
