The strange and marvelous cover art for Lou Anders’ anthology Fast Forward 2 is here. This is somewhat changed from earlier versions that have been released on the web. Take a look–with and without cover text. Is this retro-future or what? Love it.

I have a story in there, somewhere: “Cyto Couture.” Release date is October 21.

Picacio talked a bit on his blog about his inspiration for this design, and the origins may surprise you.
