The cover of Veronica Barassi's "child|data|citizen: how tech companies are profiling us from before birth" has a black ink print of a child's hand seemingly reflecting a screen with data on it.

The cover of Ray Nayler's novel "Palaces of the Crow" is a fiercely red background with an illustration of single crow that appears to have six wings.

The cover of Rebecca Solnit's book "A Paradise Built in Hell" shows a landscape on fire under a sky of yellow smoke
