Cutforth"},"content":{"rendered":"

As the author has officially announced that his book will be available in early July, I am pleased to be able to share the cover I did for Robert Cutforth’s novel, Industrial Revolution. \u00a0\/\/update: now available on Amazon<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"Industrial<\/p>\n

The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic Manchester, so I aged one of the trendier areas of the city through the magic of photoshop. I’m rather pleased with the results but I doubt Manchester city council would take me up on my suggested improvement scheme.<\/p>\n

Having read this book three times, I can say it is a compelling, well-constructed page-turner that is well worth every penny you spend on it. Without a word of exaggeration it’s one of the best new books I’ve read in ages. Granted I’m a big fan of post-apocalyptic scenarios so I was already primed to go, but seriously, it’s a great read. Even if I didn’t know the author and had just picked up this book at random I would be urging everyone to read it.<\/p>\n

Plus it’s got a fantastic cover.<\/p>\n

Industrial Revolution will be available in early July through Amazon. Cutforth is posting news about his novel\u00a0on his blog<\/a>.\u00a0\/\/update:\u00a0now available on Amazon<\/a>!<\/p>\n

…\u00a0Post-apocalyptic Britain seems to be a thing all of a sudden, as the UK newspaper, the Independent just posted this story<\/a>\u00a0about the work of Sony’s Playstation team:<\/p>\n

A vision of post-apocalypse Britain? Eerie computer-generated images reveal how UK landmarks could crumble and decay if humanity was wiped out\u00a0– <\/em>Computer programmers produce stunning digital make-under of some of Britain\u2019s most famous landmarks<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Make-under. Cunning. \u00a0I’m glad they didn’t do Manchester so nobody accuses me of being imitative. (insert obligatory emoticon indicating wry mirth here) The image of an abandoned Buckingham Palace is quite nice.<\/p>\n

The stunning digital make-under of Britain\u2019s most famous landmarks coincides with the release of post-apocalypse video game The Last of Us.<\/p>\n

As in the game itself, the images depict a Britain abandoned for 20 years after a poisonous fungus has wiped-out almost all the world\u2019s population, leaving nature to gradually reclaim towns and cities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
