The cover needed to reflect the intense personalities of the artists, critics and theorists interviewed in this book, who are intimately involved in building the content, interfaces and architectures of new media. We chose a purely typographic solution with a playful quality. Limited to three colors, we selected a striking combination of fluorescent orange and silver to give the cover a dynamic sense of presence, which the author felt was critical in portraying his subject.
