About the Cover
Claude Berge, The Smoking Clones, bronze, 50 x 50 cm, 1964--1965. In addition to the pattern of legs/arms suggesting a maximum number of projected squares, a particularity of this piece is that when two lit cigarettes are put into the mouths, the clones smoke them up very quickly (without dropping the ashes).
