No, not the one I'm wearingWhistle(oops, can't be seen), but the cover for Jim's book. I was quite taken with it the first time I saw it, and again when I began a second reading. How'd you get such cool shots of the skyscrapers, Jim? And the 'marbley' effect on the front, I'm guessing that they symbolise atomic structure? Was that effect difficult to create, do you know? I'm genuinely quite curious - it goes down as the coolest book cover I've seen, and I've seen a few! Kudos all roundApplause

There is no spoon.

Thanks Neo, for loving the cover. That means as much to me as when people like the book!

I took the shot looking "uptown" from the observation deck of the Empire State Building in New York. The wormhole effect was photoshopped and the image inside of it came from a great Brazilian 3D artist named "Angel Estevez", who graciously allowed me to use his artwork in return for simply sending him a book. The marbles were his also, and perhaps subconsciously "atomic" - I don't know, I just liked it. :)
