Ben Lerner's Transcription cover draws HAL 9000 comparisons
Original: Getting strong HAL 9000 vibes from the cover of Ben Lerner's Transcription . # books # livres # HAL9000 # bookstodon
Ben Lerner's novel Transcription is being discussed because of its cover art, which readers say evokes HAL 9000, the sentient computer from Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. The observation is circulating among book fans online, with readers joking about the resemblance between the jacket design and the film's infamous red camera-eye.
Why now: Readers are amused by an unexpected visual resemblance between a contemporary literary novel's cover and an iconic sci-fi film image.
