if:book Australia has invited remixes of its 24-Hour Book, Willow Pattern, not just the finished text of the book, but the entire database of edits collected over the project's duration. Nathan Curnow's The Leak is a cento poem, stitched together from quotes, paraphrases, and references culled from the book's data and, in the process, transformed into something new. 

Each reference to the original author has been annotated in the comments.

The Leak by Nathan Curnow

if:book Australia explores new forms of digital literature and investigates the changing connections between writers and readers. Such explorations at the intersection of technology and publishing take the form of writing, teaching, and experimenting.
Since its inception in 2010, if:book Australia has published tens of thousands of words from some of the nation’s best writers and thinkers on book futures, delivered workshops from Perth to Canberra to Alice Springs, created real-world story adventures, and took a complete book from concept to print in twenty-four hours.
