How awesome is this cover for the forthcoming UK edition of Rapture of the Nerds?

Way, way awesome.

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.

    That is 1000X better than the American version! I also love the sly visual allusion to ’80s videogames inherent in the font choice. :)

    I don’t understand. Where’s the half-naked female protagonist with a ray-gun, showing her cleavage and her butt at the same time?

    I really hope you didn’t miss the chance to put a hidden message in there. Preferably a prediction of the future that can be read to be true by anyone in a decades time…
