1970s sci-fi paperback cover

1970s sci-fi paperback cover depicting a colossal windowless data-center monolith rising from a flat scrubland plain, its featureless black face swallowing the horizon. A single tiny figure stands at the base, looking up. The sky above is a deep cobalt-to-magenta airbrushed gradient with a band of gold haze at the horizon line. The structure's edges are razor-sharp against the void-black upper sky. The words 'SILENT PERMIT' set in bold condensed sans-serif across the upper third in gold. Painted feel with visible airbrush strokes and soft atmospheric bloom. 9:16 portrait phone wallpaper.
