title: Brave New World

Brave New World

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a “funny” take on these books before, this was a really smart call.

I assumed they were based off of old clip art of woodcuts, but apparently Kulick did the illustrations himself. Wow! The spine is really first-class too. (Once again Amazon’s scans let us down, the author’s name on the cover and spine is in a sharp bright red.)

I love this novel so very much. These are, by far, the best cover art I’ve seen done for it.

I just saw this at B&N and I almost bought it just for the cover.

Obviously the cover showing how man in Huxley’s fictional world is becoming a machine .

Updated images, thanks Gregg!

Love this cover. Especially since science is making a move towards blending human genetics with technology. However, the illustration adds this humor of being held up in arms by the technology that surrounds us.

Be such a sad day when we try to replace printed literature.

Brilliant! Especially how everyone in the world appears to be made out of assembled parts – no one has a real soul, nor is anyone reaching for anything in particular – and they all worship Ford, the creator of the assembly line. Showing an engine and the mechanical border to the title is perfect!
I love this cover – which is especially odd considering I hate the book. Cool!

Amazing concept, amazing execution. I’m really turning an eye to the new design of old classics. It’s really interesting to see how many designers mix old + new in order to come up with a solution. Old style looks mixed with modern design. This is just incredible.

I’m not sure what that is…

Very fun. Witty—kind of reminds me of Chips execution for the Invisible Elephant cover. I’m not gonna read into this too much cause the image is great…

I guess it alludes to the books idea of a perfectly functioning human machine. Well oiled parts = total well being. I dunno, I would have done this differently and that is what is so perfect;)

Laid back, seems like the designer had fun with this. Nice stuff.

I don’t see this cover as fitting the tone or mood of the book. The technology that dominates the story is sleek and ultra-modern, stuff like genetic engineering, not mechanical nineteenth-century gears and sprockets. The theme of the book is how scientific hedonism turns people into mindless sheep living in a perpetual fantasy land. Quite different I think from what this cover evokes.

worst book, ever.
however, wonderful cover out of the many that i have previously viewed.
