M&D dust-jacket esoterica

[Michael McAulay]

About that dust-jacket: looking only at the front cover it reads "son &
xon," right?  Two sons, as was pointed out in an earlier post (by ??? -
sorry, can't find it in the archive)

But there is another way to read it: as s-on, and x-on, representing the
two approaches to natural terrain embodied by Feng-Shui and the Line,
respectively.  See, the curvilinear S follows the contours of the land,
respecting the Dragon.  Whereas the rectilinear X represents the
imposition of man's grid 'pon it, Sha energy be damned.

It doesn't take a Bart Simpson to figure out that this is too rich to be
Coincidence...
