Stéphane Massa-Bidal (AKA Rétrofuturs (Hulk4598)) has created a set of posters depicting various popular web services as though they were vintage paperback covers. The set is absolutely beautiful, and is for sale in various sizes.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing these.

    I immediately recognized the IDIIOM terminal in the lower-right of the Facebook one. I think the picture was taken in Trondheim, where one of few IDIIOMs remain.

    These will be my phone’s new launcher icons. Awesome.
