Psychological Torment Zone: In "The Education Of Drusilla Strange", a Novelette by Theodore Sturgeon, Drusilla is not only sent to Earth as a prison planet, she's also exposed to psychic memories to punish her transgressions. She's punished with memories/visions/pictures of things she'll never have because she was sent to Earth.

Raygun Gothic: The cover is addicted to bubbles and circles, also having a preference to metal-looking spacesuits rather than fabric, drawing inspiration from the Mercury 7 styles popular at the time of publication.
