The Archive Undying by Emma Mieko Candon

Hey look a badass new cover!! 🤯

The Archive Undying by @emcandon is the first volume of in the Downworld Sequence, a sci-fi series where AI deities and brutal police states clash, wielding giant robots steered by pilot-priests with corrupted bodies. 

Says the author: 

“The machines in The Archive Undying are behemoths because anything lesser would be morally decrepit. So whenever I look at this cover and I feel like that big, beautiful robot is going to eat me alive (even without a mouth! I am afraid to learn how that would work!), I’m terrified, but I’m also ecstatic, because it’s perfect. I can’t wait for readers to meet the rest of the feral mechs—as well as the people trying desperately not to be devoured by them.”

James Gurney, 'Quozl', 1989 "Quozl…was painted for the Alan Dean Foster novel of the same name. The novel tells the humorous story of the Quozl, rabbit-eared aliens who land on planet Earth to establish a settlement or "Fist Burrow." The Quozle, like rabbits, reproduce at an alarming rate and have been forced to travel from their overcrowded home plant of Quozlene to colonize other planets…Quozl shows the moment in which a group of these aliens explore the dwelling of a typical Earthling family."

James Gurney writes of his planning of the cover painting:

As a fantasy illustrator, my goal is usually to create a completely new kind of architecture. With Quozl, my goal was to introduce the fantastic rabbit_like creatures into a familiar American living room and show them reacting to common, everyday things, like televisions, posters, and VCRs. I followed Alan Forster's description of this moment in the book, but elaborated the idea with images that i gathered on a research tour though a local shopping mall. When the painting was finished, it showed a number of trademarked images, like Wonder Bread and Bugs Bunny. The lawyers at the publishing company were nervous about showing these in the final image as it appeared on the book jacket, so, with my approval, they has an art director touch uo the painting (with water-based paints that could later be removed) so that all the recognizable images became just a little different."

The image reproduced on the paperback book jacket stretches across the spine, so that the right-hand portion of the painting receives prominence as the front cover." Source

Addendum: I don't think it needs to be stated that what's being presented here as your "familiar American living room" reads as white and middle class. Not necessarily a criticism, just an observation. I guess I did need to state it.

"It amuses me SNW did a better job selling "Not all Orions are pirates" in one episode than LDS did in four seasons.

In LDS it's basically Tendi kidding herself whereas SNW took it seriously."
