ATD paperback cover

[Tore Rye Andersen]

I was rather reminded of Kit's and Renzo's diabolical nosedives (pp. 
1069-72):

"They were soon going so fast that something happened to time, and maybe 
they'd slipped for a short interval into the Future, the Future known to 
Italian Futurists, with events superimposed on one another, and geometry 
straining irrationally away in all directions including a couple of extra 
dimensions as they continued hellward, a Hell that could never contain Kit's 
abducted young wife, to which he could never go to rescue her, which was 
actually Hell-of-the-future, taken on into its functional equations, 
stripped and fire-blasted of everything emotional or accidental...." (1070)

Anyway, its a great cover, although it doesn't live up to Rick Moody's 
maxim: "a paperback cover must always feature an ample bosom". Although I 
still prefer the polysemous cover of the first edition, this new cover 
nicely captures what I consider to be the overarching theme of AtD: The 
irreversible plunge into Modernity.
