The cover gets the basic vibe right but makes me wonder what the person holding the camera could possibly have doing that was so much more distracting.

What can the person with the camera be doing that’s so much more distracting?
And why was my first go at posting this nixed?

I figure Ross is busy trying to ring up Rachel to find out how he wound up in what appears to be a Friends/My Octopus Teacher/My Name is Earl/Jeopardy!/Oppenheimer crossover episode.

Why in my day we didn’t need computers and cell phones to save the world, just file cabinets, typewriters and rotary phones.

Well I suppose the possessed smartphone makes up for all those 90’s CRT monitors.

It’s an OK cover for what goes on in the book(s), except I don’t think Bob looks like that, and the Laundry really doesn’t strike me as that well-lit and is much more dingy all-around.
The tag line below the title is superb, though.
