Why are you using Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures album as the cover of the book?

It is a scientific image, I believe public domain. Happen to love music and you will find that reading the book. The cover is the first clue. ;)

(More information is at the bottom of the intro/title page under Acknowledgements).

I guess, but it's lacking the dyadic relationship between the image and the music (or in your case: content).

That's what made that album cover so great.

Are you drunk? You think a data plot has an intimate relationship with music but not software? Sounds like someone is romanticising. ;)

An album with tracks called "New Dawn Fades", " "Wilderness" and "Disorder" seems oddly appropriate for a book on Project Management... ;-)

It's actually an old image of the radio pulses of a pulsar stacked on top of each other.

It is CP1919, the first pulsar, discovered by Jocelyn Bell. It won a nobel prize for Anthony Hewish who led the project.
