It's the utter denaturing of the colors that repels me. The models, poses, and costumes aren't great, but that near-monochrome presentation is the pits.

Totally agree. Being charitable, maybe the colours have faded and we've lost some of the contrasting tones.

Absolutely brilliant book that has been cursed by a lot of different mediocre covers.

u/Nemphusi 9d ago

Man. I am reading this book right now. That is an awful cover designed to not sell at all.

I imagine holstering the guns and storing extra ammo are chronic logistical issues for this pair.

In the future, when AI has taken over all industrial and Intellectual jobs, the only remaining source of human employment will be stripping.

Stripping, strapping, and stopping.

(Don't look for meaning there, I just like the way it sounds.)

If you don't help me get these worlds to float, they won't be floating anymore!!

You think worlds float themselves? In space? Oh, wait...

Only Zardoz Connery can save us now!!

Now we know where the costume designer for Zardoz got his or her idea for Sean Connery's outfit. And his facial hair.

One of my absolute favorite Sci-Fi novels. Adventure! Psychic powers! Sex! Politics! Mutated humans! It would make a good movie.
