Please tell me that there really isn't a new GURPS books out that has a cybernetic dolphin with lasers on the cover.

I swear, GURPS has turned to shit with 4th edition . . .

I don't believe it's new, but the actual title of that book is, I believe, Uplift. It incorporates uplifted animals, like dolphins and monkeys.

And robots, apparently.

I'm also guessing that the inherent enmity between robots and monkeys leads to more than a few scenes resembling the cover. The monkeys' natural affinity for humans and, by association, dolphins only serves to earn those other species the robots' ire as well. Again, I'm just piecing this together based on the cover art, but I'm almost certain the title is Uplift.

Should be 'Up Yours'

It is Uplift. And It's a third edition product. It's a decent sci-fi series by David Brin, not that you'd be able to tell from that picture.

The best book in that series is ~~[i]~~Startide Rising[/i]. I'd recommend the book. Don't know about the Gurps supplement.
