""This is truly an achievement in minimalist book design. Although mainly a stark white cover with a small art panel broken with clouds and empty speech balloons, all parts of the design hint at the metanarrative present in the story. Art inside the panel is black and white while art outside the panel is bright blue. Speech balloons are physical objects which are cleverly referenced in the design of the author's bio in the back french flap. Best of all however is the rain of binary ones and zeros which cover the entire cover but only in spot gloss. This subtle effect is delicious and gives a lovely shine to the book while referencing the central mystery of the ""black and white world"" hidden in the binary. An edition that champions the physical object with subtle details you can only appreciate while holding the book in-person."" - Carina Taylor
