"Omni" was a jewel among popular science magazines of its era (1978-1998). "Science Digest," "Science News," "Scientific America," and "Discover" may have all been selling well to armchair scientists, but "Omni" masterfully blended cutting edge science news and science fiction, flashy graphic design, a touch of sex, and the images of a generation of artists completely free and unburdened by the disciplines of the masters. "The Mind's Eye: The Art of Omni" is the very first publication to celebrate in stunning detail the exceptional science fiction imagery of this era. "The Mind's Eye" contains 185 images from contributing "Omni" artists including John Berkey, Chris Moore, H.R. Giger, Rafal Olbinski, Ralle, Tsuneo Sanda, Hajime Sorayama, Robert McCall, and Colin Hay among many more, along with quotes from artists, contributors, writers, and critics.
