Say what you will, I shall never speak ill of a Peter Elson cover.

@A.R. – Way to kick off the Monday morning laugh parade!

Not futuristic? I don’t know. Has the bong mouse being invented yet?

Pinky in the air while taking a bong hit = class.

Galactic OSHA is going to be all over that guy’s supervisor for the intractable case of futuristic carpal tunnel syndrome he’s sure to develop from the keyboard angle.

Sadly, Hugh Griffith.

2168 – Cypress Hill have been thawed from cryogenic storage for 10 minutes and are already hitting the bong.

Apparently the “Zuckerberg” is the hairstyle of the future.

@THX – He spent a fortune on the drugs. Can’t afford to put a roof over her head.

@Raoul, THX: it’s obviously someone who defines ‘happy’ as feeling like a room without a roof. The hairdo is why Pharrell always wore that hat.
Oddly, though, this does sort of resemble one bit of the book’s… I was going to say ‘plot’ but it’s Sheckley.

I’m not sure whether she’s immune to the cold, or she’s just run outside underdressed because she has to see him seriously trying to smoke off of lab equipment.

During Mr. Spock’s retirement, it was a lonely seven-year wait.

Or, The Philosopher’s Stoned.

The second Doctor doesn’t look too good.

@THX 1139: maybe it ‘s just a reeeeeally big picture window.

@Bruce A Munro (15): That’s because it’s the ninth wearing the Troughton wig from ‘The Five Doctors’ for some reason. Possibly to cover those ears.

With a title like that, the cover didn’t stand a chance.
Why is he all bundled up while she’s in a sleeveless dress? Isn’t it usually the other way around? Judging by the distance between them and her body language, there’s going to be an Alchemical Divorce soon.
@Tag W: the tag in this case might be spelled “duuuuude”.
@Jeremiah is quite right, that computer couldn’t be more late 70s unless it had an actual date stamped on it.
@Ray P: indeed, my first thought was the outfit Spock wore in “City on the Edge of Forever” (hear the ghost of Harlan bitching), because I mistook the Second Doctor’s hairdon’t for a ski cap.
@BC, Tat: GSS!

The computer may be dated but you could sell that vaping setup for at least £300 in any headshop, as long as there is a shothole disguised by the stand..
I had this book when it came out. I am surprised it has not been here before.

The Philosopher’s stoned.
