In Escher’s woodcut “Circle Limit III” the infinite hyperbolic plane (drawn as a finite disk) is tiled with interlocking fish. The tractroid is a surface in Euclidean space with the same geometry as a portion of the hyperbolic plane, so I thought it would be fun to show the fish.

My new novel MORPHOTROPHIC is available now! You can read the first two chapters here: www.gregegan.net/MORPHOTROPHI...
Book jacket for Morphotrophic by Greg Egan, with a pattern of veined tissue and a colour gradient across the image.

Book synopsis reads:

In a world where the cells that make up our bodies are not committed to any one organism, Marla is confronted by the fickleness of her cytes, and resolves to understand them with help from Ada, a centuries-old Flourisher. Swappers like Ruth embrace fluidity, and meet with others to exchange cytes, seeking the perfect mix. But Ruth faces her own crisis, and as the technology to manipulate cytes advances, all three are drawn into a struggle to shape the future of life.
