Congrats on the book! I should read the first one (although I'm somewhat afraid to because there have been a couple of people whose blogs I enjoy and whose novels I read as a result and really didn't enjoy and then felt kind of guilty. Even Unsong I did like but not as much as I like Scott's blogging.)

Can I make a suggestion on the cover design, or is it too late? It has a bit of an amateur self-published vibe, and I think this is because the text doesn't stand out very well from the background. The text is completely flat and monochrome, and the I in particular isn't very well distinguished from the mountain background. I think it might help if the text had a slight subtle outline or shadow, or maybe if you kept the existing text colour for the title (which is against the sky, so contrasts well) but put your name (which is against the darker mountains) in a different colour.

I really enjoyed this: the illuminating application of a non-obvious theological analogy to a contemporary political topic, the even-handed pointing out of an inconsistency/reversal in both left-wing and right-wing thinking, the entertaining asides, and the bonus Foundation reference.
