Planet of the Apes,
Pierre Boulle
Speculative book cover (2026)
With Aphrodite Accoviacciata (250 B.C.) wearing an ape mask from the novel’s 1968 film adaption, this cover pays homage to the novel’s misrepresentation by a global franchise and Boulle’s frequent references to ancient Greek literature while seeking to reflect his cutting satire, feminist tone, and allusions to Cyclicism.
