The Khan by @saimamir.bsky.social - an absolute 10/10 crime thriller that does a spectacular job of representing Muslim women.

The cover used to generate the colour scheme for the texture. I loved this book!

A Möbius tube in #p5js but I wanted a funky texture to it so I applied the colour scheme from The Khan by @saimamir.bsky.social to it. (texture comes on at 0:55) I didn't know there was a sequel out! That's on my TBR list! #creativecoding #books
