Alright, team, huddle up! “The Selfish Gene” by Richard Dawkins is stepping onto the field with a bright orange cover that screams “coach” from the sidelines. It’s like Dawkins is calling an audible with these strange, abstract figures – is that one doing a touchdown dance? The artwork is definitely a Hail Mary pass, hoping to catch your attention in the end zone. And speaking of strategy, the title suggests this playbook extends the game plan from his previous bestseller. It’s celebrating 40 years, which is like having a veteran quarterback still throwing perfect spirals. Just remember, the cover might be a bit of a trick play – the real action is in the pages.
Rating: ★★★★☆ Summary: An eye-catching, abstract cover that boldly stands out, celebrating the longevity and impact of Dawkins’ ideas, ready to score big in your intellectual playbook.
