My Book Cover


This is my trial shot at a book cover for Neal Stephenson's novel Snow Crash. It is a sci-fi novel written in the early 90's. It uses a cyberpunk setting (my reason for the bizarre virtual reality landscape) but with some odd additions. There are nuclear warhead bearing Aleuts, Soviet death metal stars, and some interesting theories regarding Babylonian mythology and the origin of language (hence the tower of Babel). The central character is Hiro Protagonist, a hacker/pizza delivery man/rogue swordsman of Japanese and African American descent. It's a good read.
