It’s OK everyone – no need to shield your eyes from the machine’s welding, he’s using non-glare paper!

“Hoot von Zitzewitz” is the cover artist? You got to be kidding me.
But then Google gives me an education:

Now I understand the sci-fi cover artist’s motto “I don’t give a Zitzewitz!”

I love the preposition + preposition + noun title style. Rather wish it had been extended a little more. I, The, An, It, Some, We, Machine.

I take this cover art as a warning not to hold a Philishave too close to one’s eyes. Although if one did, one might be grateful for the large print and non-glare cover.
I, THE MACHINE must be the sequel to…
II, THE MACHINERY and possibly…
III, THE MACHINATIONS.
I could go on.

I had zitzewitz on my hoot when I was a teenager. Fortunately, the doctor was able to take care of them. Unfortunately, when I looked in the mirror all I saw was a razor with asymmetrical pupils. 🙁

Ducking and covering seems like an ineffective strategy if you are attacked by a giant soldering iron.

Looks like an awful collage art project, complete with a discarded photo of a man looking at the ground and some sloppy orange paint strokes to fill the empty lower corner.

The guy in the business suit doesnt seem all that concerned.

I nominate this for “Most Blatant Attempt to Ride the Coattails and Just Barely Not Plagiarize “, in the category of speculative fiction.
Though I do have to admit I rather like the album “I the Machine” by the Alvin Persons Project.

Agent Smith?

@Bibliomancer—I thought the tiny topless babe on the right was the “Hoot” you were referring to. Wonder what she’s doing there? Oh, yeah, it’s a collage, I forgot.

I, THE MUSIC VIDEO.

The paper may not be glaring but the cover sure is!

With a name like that I had to find out more:

A Stunning New Science Fiction Novel By Tarzan Of The Apes
I, THE MACHINE
An excerpt:
“I machine. You human. We go to Radio Shack, find new transistors for machine.”

@AR: now THAT’S science fiction! Everyone knows Radio Shack doesn’t sell electronic parts anymore. 😉

I, just happened upon another random cover with art far more haphazard than the last one!
I, don’t think this one is even trying to be profound, someone was having fun with the Elmers glue.
