Geltor created the cultured leather by engineering yeast cells to produce different types of collagen during fermentation. That was then shaped into “floppy, pallid sheets,” writes Kauffman, before being tanned and finished into a cultured leather. According to Kristin Hugo at Newsweek, the team settled on using collagen from jellyfish for the cover because they found it had a malleability to it that made it "flexible but firm," giving the book an especially realistic feel.
