We used to have programming books.

#programming #atari #forth

An astounding display of nailing a target audience, the cover for "Forth on the Atari" is a dramatic tour de force that blends science fiction and fantasy aesthetics, featuring a scantily clad woman and man, the woman standing boldly on a field of keycaps next to the kneeling man as if they were diminutive gremlins upon an enormous computer keyboard. The woman's vest barely containing her swollen woman-breasts, and she glances expectantly to her male partner who wears a chestplate that does as well of a job covering his chest as the woman's vest does of covering her breasts, which makes this an exquisite feminist piece. He wears a strange visored helmet with small antennae protruding from the top and side, a leather bumhugger that gracefully outlines the contours of his fungal banana man-fruit, and he stares at the viewer as he strains with all his might to hold up an ebon stone slab carved to reveal the word "FORTH". On the horizon, spotlights blast conical beams into the night amidst several other nondescript buildings, and a Class-M planet hovers in the sky above for no other reason than looking totally bad-ass behind a nearly naked woman and man.
