Little Brother art: UK cover, limited edition poster

Yesterday, I got two really awesome new graphics related to my young adult novel Little Brother (now in its third week on the bestseller lists!). The first, seen above, was a side-project by Tor Books's Pablo Defendini, a poster design that started out as concept art for the paperback of Little Brother. Pablo actually gave me one of the very small number of prints he made of this and now I can't wait to get it framed and hung up -- I love every little thing about it, from the RFID tag to the hidden message in the binary around the border. Oh, and Pablo does great hands.

Next up is this:

It's the artwork (not yet final) for the UK edition of Little Brother, which will be published in November by HarperCollins UK. It's a little less upbeat than the US cover, but I like the stencil-graffiti look, which hearkens to all the political movements (starting with early Christianity) that were bound together by illegal writing on walls. (If you'd like to get a notice when the UK edition is available, mail me).

   WOW! These posters are blowing my mind. "Little Brother" the book is far beyond mind blowing. Perhaps a mental cluster-bo... Can I say that here? I haven't got private browsing secured yet. But I am working on it.

   I blogged Defendini's poster (which generate lots of excitement with my co-conspirators) as part of my mini-review of Little Brother which is in the context of my look at the 30% likelihood of an attack on Iran between the US presidential election and inauguration, the crackdown in the US that must follow and digging in to face it off. For me, digging in means getting as many people as possible to read Little Brother to visualize what it could look like in the Bay Area (where I "fight the power and prepare the people for revolution") and to begin talking about the privacy technology and embracing privacy the way the kids in Little Brother do.
