Show me a book cover more kino than this one.

You can't, because it's the best one ever made.

well, I have a keen interest in the early middle-eastern civilisations, and I've always thought about writing a post-apocalyptic novel that details the progression of tribes into primitive, centralised agricultural societies. I have an image of a King living in the wondrous splendor of a preserved Hotel lobby, filled with marble. The reigning powers would be comparable to the Assyrians, committing almost unimaginable acts of cruelty on conquered peoples, while the hero would be a Cyrus the Great figure who acts in such a comparatively benevolent way that he's almost semi-divine.

I'd also have everyone make use of all the plastic bottles lying around everywhere as one of their primary materials.
