The world got a little less beautiful after 1963's Wunda Weave carpets went out of vogue.

1963 Wunda Weve Carpets

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.

Seems like these patterns would be a good candidate for an Amazon vendor to generate algorithmically based on customer preferences. Although maybe they’d just inevitably converge on a pattern where the blocks spell “RAPE”, who knows?

So very green!

Not keen on the rugs but that chicken is awesome.
