book cover art is a trip

I just finished my nth Philip K. Dick book, The Penultimate Truth, and, like with an occasional book of his here and there, didn't really get it. A few Wikipedia clicks later, I come across this site

In addition to that, just now checking Kotaku, on Easter one of the writers there did a whole thing on "easter eggs" (like, hidden surprises) in old Atari games.
