Working Cover
Temporary front and back covers I used while writing the book. All images are AI generated by Microsoft Copilot Designer, after many hundreds of attempts over several weeks to get something close to the images I was seeking. The images have some uncanny valleys, but I thought the results were pretty impressive for AI in 2024.
