The Unbinding



The LA Times writes: "Kirn depicts technology as a looming Orwellian force, spying on the citizenry, turning our insides outward. . . . The loss of privacy makes for comedy, at first, and then for a sense of foreboding as trampled boundaries refuse to reappear."

I say this is friggin' brilliant and my favorite of the short year so far. I don't think I've wanted a poster of a book cover this bad in a long time. Please, someone run to the bookstore and get me that designer's name! :-)

Buy this book from Amazon.com

    Agreed! I can't stop looking at it. How about the treatment of the annoying but ever present label "a novel?" In this design, it belongs.

  2. Hot, hot hot. If anything I wish they would have left off the review blurb on the cover. Still one of the strongest I've seen so far this year.
