Zero Knowledge

Four More Covers

Last weekend I asked for covers after Seth Godin sent his. Within four days, three people sent four more.

Stavros Stathopoulos went with a comic-book illustration of the founders in a car, with someone watching from the rearview mirror. As he put it, “The eyes in the rearview mirror add just the right bit of menace.” He also pointed out that I’m in the passenger seat.

Chris Heivly wrote, “I wanted something a little more hopeful than the Godin darkness. Plus it’s about the 3 ‘kids’.”

Olivia Merithew sent two. Both put the three founders in the snowy mountains, which she said was “to put a human face on the stakes.”

Every cover anyone has made for the book, including the three Sean Wise mocked up in June and Seth’s, is now on a covers page. Seth’s is still on the home page.

Stavros, Chris, and Olivia, thank you.

The book is still a shitty first draft, so keep them coming. Email yours to brad@feld.com.
