I agree, but just a heads up: the front images for most scifi novels these days (and for the past few decades) have largely been out of the hands of the writer.

I agree, but just a heads up: the front images for most scifi novels these days (and for the past few decades) have largely been out of the hands of the writer. The publishing house pretty much unilaterally decides on the cover for marketing reasons.
- robocat 11mo agoAuthor said they paid for the cover art: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45879213 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45879213 (of course that doesn't mean they chose it). I actually like the art - but I'm somewhat eclectic.
- mojoe 11mo agoJust confirming that yes, I chose the art. It's hard to please everyone with a project like this, I'm glad you like it!
