Feedback on cover choice

[microprediction]

See linked-in discussion.

In favor of light grey design or against dark design:

• I actually wish you could have the graphic from A in dark mode, as I think they "illustrate" the concept better.
• A’s artwork is “better” as B’s feel like more related to electronic circuits designs.
  If the book is more academic then A color scheme is better but if it’s more pragmatic, then B’s colors would be my choice.
• The art in B is very generic any reminds me of every AI book on the shelves, even at the actual physical MIT press bookstore
• Brain-like circuit boards have been overused IMHO :)
• Representation of networks is better in option A imho
• If you change font color in A, I think A wins
• B is easier to read, A has better artwork
• Option A is a bit closer to reflect the topic
• B's image does feel like circuitry
• I find the B option to scifi and A to be the more down to earth one
• Light one as title says more about predictions, which is farthest and distant… shadowy light looks better expression… it should be surreal …Dark one looks more Technical
• it's not just light vs dark - it is "let be the light.. in greys" - a non-trivial grey tonalities where the artist captured the range beautifully vs trivial black and electric (?!) blue. The light greys are beautiful and inspiring if you like =). I would have made everything in greys only
• the main dominating factor here is the fine picture - there is more to it than a restricted in-angles chip-like boring of the dark.
  It's a clever thing to combine sine curves ( ~ Fourier transform) interconnected in graphs and a networked sphere juxtaposed with the levels - well done to the artis
  -Option B with the Design from Option A
  -Option A, since option B looks too generic
• A, B looks cookie cutter.

In favor of dark design, or arguments against light grey

• It immediately tells it is a tech related book and dark theme hints at dark future and AI risks.
  Also, I think more likely to be picked by tech audience from the shelves.
• I like B but if you end up keeping the book on the beach with all the free time you'll have after automating your trades, the cover will bleach in the sun
• Dark: It drew my eyes to it.
• Right one looks more interesting / eye catching to me - left looks too bland for me :)
• Option B. It seems more fluid and open
• Dark all day long sir
• B would be my choice. No technical reason. Just subjective esthetics.
• Option B is a better thumbnail
• Option B with vibrant colors
• Option B. The graphic looks like an aerial view of the grid from Tron Legacy which is a neat segue into AI futurism.
• B looks better.
• Option B reason is analogous to why dark themed IDEs >> light themed IDEs… Easier on the eyes.
• The higher image contrast of B is much better for grabbing attention
• Right side, darker cover, better contrast, more aesthetically pleasing
• Dark mode for aesthetic reasons, but I actually wish you could have the graphic from A in dark mode, as I think they "illustrate" the concept better.
• It's more intuitive with the prediction signals for AI. So, I will vote for B design.
• B is easier to read, A has better artwork.
• Definitely option B, more focused on the text than background. Although like for art of the option A better
• B, more contrast less tiring on eyes
