And the cover does its job well, since my immediate reaction was 'A bloody RSS feed icon?Cool. What is that book about?', followed by looking around for a good description of the book. And isn't that what a book cover is supposed to do? And my reaction after finding the article about it on IO9 was 'Cory Doctorow's When the Sys-Admins Ruled the World with zombies! Double-cool.' So count me as waiting eagerly for the book. I got the symbol right away. And the cover does its job well, since my immediate reaction was ‘A bloody RSS feed icon?Cool.

Gave a nice new (well, new for someone who's been hearing about the "zombie book" but doesn't have a clue about the plot) twist on the term "feed", for me, btw. :-D - TTFN, - Amazon. :-) Go you! :-D
