Winter:  A combination of history, politics, and technology featured heavily on this cover.

A smartphone (Android in style yet with an iPhone button) is being held against the backdrop of the Constitution printed on an American flag.

An error on the phone reads: "Your system is overdue for an update, but your hardware is no longer supported.  In order to use the latest features, please upgrade your hardware. (-2019)"

This was a shot at the overall system in the States, which sometimes seemed incapable of change because past values and words were being clung to long after other nations had moved on.  It was also inspired in part by an incident involving an old XP machine, which had less and less support but was unable to upgrade to anything more modern because of the old hardware.

Continuing to use it would only slow everything else down and result in less reliability.  We saw a parallel.

In the background, features for the upgrade to this phone are listed as Version 2.0.2. (202 is the area code for Washington D.C.)

Those new features are "three centuries of experience," "enlightened social outlook," and "integration into world culture."

A graph below that indicated "User Reviews" and showed the current political demographics of the country: Democrats, Republicans, Libertarian, Green, and Other.

A map in the background showed which direction districts swung in the recent election (blue for Democrat and red for Republican).

The software currently running on the phone is called "FEDERALIST 1.27," which is a reference to the 27 amendments to the Constitution that currently exist.

The publisher is listed as "Government Printing Office."

On the bottom right of the phone is a figure for "Average turnout," which actually reflects the percentage of eligible voters (64.2 percent) who are registered.  The exact number of eligible voters at the time (159,388,634) is printed below.

The time on the phone is listed as 17:89.  It was in 1789 that the U.S. Constitution went into effect.

The word "FOREVER" is seen in the bottom right, just as it might appear on an actual postage stamp.

Icons on the top of the phone include some regular ones found on a cell phone (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, signal, and battery), plus images for a bald eagle and the transgender community.

And if you look carefully, you'll notice right below the error message the total number of downloads (327.1 million) which happened to be the country's population.

"Framers & Founders" and "Productivity" are also listed as part of the description, along with a cut off "SCOTUS" and a picture of (((Ruth Bader Ginsburg))).
