Here's the new cover. It's by our esteemed ravenkult. Seriously, go buy his poo poo and don't make your own lovely cover unless you really know what you're doing.

Wanna buy this book.

Thanks for posting it, man.

I'll be writing a series of articles for LitReactor on how to do your own covers on the cheap, with some actual tips and how-tos. They'll be up in March, I'll make sure to link them.

I'd absolutely love to know how much of that cover is stock photo and how much of it is your work. I think that would be fascinating.
Also the process of finding the right stock photo too, do you search tags for objects/people or for feel/mood/theme?

The storage system kind of sucks, though... the Neo stores your text internally, right? And then when you plug it into a computer, it acts like a keyboard and dumps everything into a text editor?

I'm thinking a simple microcontroller (AVR, perhaps) that runs a basic editor, something that immediately writes every keystroke to an SD card, reading in a KB or two into RAM so it can display whatever's near the cursor position. Simple text displays are cheap, couple that with a decent keyboard and you're good to go.

Sorry for the derail but my engineer sperg wanted to say stuff.

That's funny I've been thinking of the same thing recently. I found small eink screens for the raspberry pi that would be perfect, combined with a non-full sized mechanical keyboard and you've got yourself a super sweet little portable digital typewriter.
