The book cover makes reference to the punch card in computer
programming, FORTRAN language.
By turning the letters in the title ‘P-l-a-t-f-o-r-m’ and ‘C-a-p-i-t-a-l-i-s-m’ into punch card format, the visual responds to the concept of a digitalised capitalism discussed by the author.
The punched holes made by die-cuts on the jacket, creates another layer revealing the inside cover.
