1970s sci-fi paperback cover

1970s sci-fi paperback cover idiom depicting a colossal, brutalist monolith of endlessly repeating geometric blocks and heavy metallic scaffolding, representing a bloated data architecture, towering against a vast alien sky. A tiny, sleek, minimalist silver vessel is dwarfed at the base, conveying immense scale and architectural burden. Painted feel with airbrushed gradients, illuminated by dramatic, low-angle magenta light from the left, using a palette of deep cobalt, vivid magenta, and metallic gold against a deep black void. The words 'CONTEXT TAX' are set in bold, retro-futuristic sans-serif typography across the upper third, with no author names or barcodes. 9:16 portrait phone wallpaper.
