I have been staring at the cover for a good ten minutes to see if there is some kind of meaning in the design to justify the jumbled composition. The best I've got is the designer is maybe trying to evoke the setting sun and/or Saul Bass movie title cards. It's got all the right colors to stand out in the bookstore/online store so it's probably not that deep.
