   How did Benenson use Emoji Dick?

   • To avail himself of the Mechanical Turk platform, Benenson had to chop the novel into HITs, which meant pulling it apart into sentences. Readers of Emoji Dick encounter the novel that way too, because this "translation" is interlinear: each sentence of Melville's text is preceded by its counterpart in emoji.

   Where did Benenson's Book come from?

   • The text used by Benenson, it may be gleaned, was produced in 2001 by combining one electronic text from the now-defunct ERIS project at Virginia Tech (happily preserved at the University of Adelaide) and another from Project Gutenberg's own archives. It was proofread against a hardcopy, edition unspecified.
