Richard McGuire’s “Zooming In”

For the cover of the April 14, 2025, Innovation & Tech Issue, the artist Richard McGuire offers an image that calls back to the halcyon days when technology was expected to usher in a cozier future. “Transforming Eustace Tilley, the mascot dandy, has been an ongoing game over the last hundred years,” McGuire said. “Reinventing him as a space station brings him into the twenty-first century.”
