Unfortunately this book does not live up to expectations. Well, I mean it's all right there on the cover, but hoo boy it's a boring read otherwise.

Deep Dish Fuckfest posted:how are any of those even real my understanding is that in trad publishing a sufficiently popular or successful author will get a veto (or even more say) but it’s generally the publisher in charge of the cover I think if you’re self-publishing on Amazon or whatever, you can pick it, but you have to have the rights to the images on it—which is how you get clip art Einstein and the royalty-free aliens but I’m not actually in publishing I just like a handful of authors at various levels. someone who is could and should correct me if I’m talking out of my rear end Anyway check this mf out

IIRC Charles Stross has said that his publisher gave him one veto for book covers, which is how he ended up with this after he already used it on another book

I kind of envy the ability of people like this to take a premise that is like barely even a joke and flesh it out into an entire story, not stopping once to ask "is this idea worth this amount of effort?"
