If this is ultramodern, where are their phones?

I don’t think gay S&M wet-and-messy balloon fetish porn has been invented yet so that makes it ultra-modern, I suppose.

That guy on the ground is getting an ultra modern kick in the groin.

KITT counts as a computer, and if anyone else has any complaints about David Hasselhoff streaking then I’d think twice about that.

Rather than being ultra modern, I associated bubble dances with the 1940s — by women.

Being Van Vogt, I’d expect a computer in this story to be the size of three planets. Luckily, they didn’t draw any magnetic tape spools, punched cards or Apple Macs so maybe this drubbing is happening… inside the mainframe.
(UPDATE)
It’s a bubble-memory… how early 80s.

@Tat Wood: nothing ages worse than an SF story that promises to be ultra super dooper modern.

This is exactly what it looked like when Karl Bartos left Kraftwerk.

I don’t know what’s more interesting, the idea that he’s trying to push the cover apart and escape this awful scene, or the brick-sized object that seems to be inserted under the skin of his right forearm.

@B.C. (prev.)
Both forearms, actually. The left one looks like an old-fashioned (i.e., from the 1970s) American football arm pad, but implanted subcutaneously….

No computers, and nothing modern on the one guy, who hasn’t even progressed as far as clothing technology.
Where are the blobs coming from? What’s on top of KITT?
@Francis: I don’t know for sure, but I’d be surprised if someone hadn’t invented that by 1983. Possibly this artist.
@Tor: maybe the fact that men were doing it was the modern part?
@Bruce: maybe the implanted football pads have something to do with the bubbles.

The bubbles are ectoplasm…it’s a ghoooost!
(No doubt that Ghost in the Machine we’ve all heard of).

Excuse me while I type in ultra-modern Computer Lettering on my ultra-modern Thinking Machine, and send them via the Electro-Cables to the Ultra-Message Board known as “Good Show Sir”….

Where are Ralf und Florian?

@Tracy: Bit of bad news about Florian, I’m afraid… but I don’t think this cover is what happened to him.

Ultra-modern times require running naked past yellow space ectoplasm and avoiding lasers.
