    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I think there might be a cultural aspect to this thing that I don't get.

    Must be more of a UK thing. Ladybird books are for kids - there were loads of them - all sorts of stories for parents to read their kids and get kids into reading. The look of that cover harks back to the classic days of the form (so kids who read those books in that 'look' will all be adults now) ... plus the thing of taking an adult subject matter and formatting it as a children's book. Plus adding zombies to anything and everything.
