This is perhaps a bit soft-core, but no worse than a trip to The Met, or The AGO. In fact, most but not all the works strike me as the sort of thing you'd see on the front cover of a Sci-Fi book.

There's very little reading involved here aside from the credits. Quite a bit of the art comes from Asia and many of the works are said to be done with Photoshop, although other packages commonly appear.

The printing is fantastic and the art exquisite.

It is what I would call "photo-realistic" art.
