Proposals are now being welcomed for artwork for the cover of the second Transpolitica book. The book is expected to be e-published towards the end of this month.

As a starting point, here is the current placeholder design idea:

The set of chapters in this book will probably include the following (along, perhaps, with one or two more):

• Introduction: Why Politics 2.0?
• A Libertarian Philosophical Basis For “Transhumanist” Politics: Zoltan Istvan’s “Teleological Egocentric Functionalism”. A Viable Approach Towards A Sustainable Political Agenda?
• Four political futures – which will you choose?
• How do Governments Add Value to Society?
• The Benefits of Digital Democracy
• Cyborgization: A Possible Solution to Errors in Human Decision Making Within Complex Economic and Social Systems
• Of Mind and Money: Post-Scarcity Economics and Human Nature
• Longevity, artificial intelligence and existential risks: Opportunities and dangers
• Voluntary Basic Incomes in a Reputation Economy

If several attractive book designs are received, a short online vote will be organised to decide the winner.

For size constraints, the following notes from https://kdp.amazon.com/help?topicId=A2J0TRG6OPX0VM are relevant:

Dimensions

Important: We cannot accept any image larger than 10,000 pixels on the longest side.
