Finally got my author copies of the UK paperback of The AI Con, and they're even prettier in person!

Two paperback copies of The AI Con stacked at an angle, against a light wood desk. The title is rendered in large letter-press font, surround the subtitle in smaller letters, "How to Fight Big Tech's Hype and Create the Future We Want". Author names in all caps at the bottom: "Emily M. Bender & Alex Hanna". In the upper left are two blurbs: "You need to read this book" (Brian Eno) and "A powerful antidote to the hype" (Grace Blakeley). In the lower left are two more: "Truly eye-opening ... indispensable" (Ha-Joon Chang) and "A book to inoculate your mind" (Yanis Varoufakis). The background of the cover is a blue gradient, going from almost periwinkle on the left to a bright azure on the right. The lettering is all either black or white.
