Near future techno-thriller needs a mind blowing book cover design!
Add your question or comments below
What's the Author name please? And will this be a standard sized cover, with spine and back cover included?
Thanks
Hello,
You mentioned posthuman. Can you explain to me what that is, I don't quite understand.
Thank you.
Author's name is "Mikael Svanström"
This is an eBook cover for a kindle. I also need a standard sized cover with spine and back cover. I will update the brief with additional details.
I've added some more detail in the brief to explain what a postHuman is. In very basic terms it is the next step of human evolution.
Another definition that is also apt:
Posthuman or post-human is a concept originating in the fields of science fiction, futurology, contemporary art, and philosophy that literally means a person or entity that exists in a state beyond being human.
Could you provide a brief description of Devine (age, eye/ hair colour, notable facial features)?
Hello.
Beyond the meta humans, there are two other main characters. Below is the description of them from the book:
Tom Devine
Tom Devine is a private investigator in a world where they are no longer needed.
"TikTak studied the man next to him. Tom was asleep or at least it looked that way – his face always seemed set in a frown. Now that he was relaxed, half lying down in the car seat, he looked so old. TikTak knew he was thirty-six, but looked closer to fifty. His dark hair was turning grey. TikTak had seen photos of Tom in his mid-twenties. He had been quite handsome, making it hard to imagine what could have happened. Now he looked like an ageing movie star that had let himself go."
TikTak
TikTak is an operative for a posthuman interest group. He is an expert hacker and also a skilled stick fighter.
"A single streetlight created a cone of light in the centre of the playground, with everything else dimming into darkness. A young man was sitting on one of the swings, dangling his legs back and forth motionless. Like most people under 25, he had a completely integrated iBuddy, and it was obvious he was doing something with it. From the occasional twitches in his fingers, Tom guessed he was playing a game. Tom approached him slowly, wondering if he’d come to the right place. As he got closer, he no longer had any doubts. The boy was of Asian descent and the spitting image of his father. He wore baggy pants and a black hoodie with a swirling pattern emanating from the chest. Expensive clothes designed to imitate what actual street kids wore. Tom hated the pretence.
As the more integrated systems almost completely disconnected you from what was going on around you, the iBuddy allowed greetings that interrupted the current activity. Tom never had much time for such niceties. He walked up to the pretend gangster and tapped him on the forehead. The young man jolted backwards, tangled up in the swing and fell in a heap."
What do the drugs look like?
Great question! At no point do I actually describe them in the book. For the purpose of the cover I'm quite happy for them to be a capsule with a white and a colored end.
Are you cool with a syringe as the drug as well?
