BUT I would make the font size of the binary at the bottom a little smaller and I would play around with having your title and name be a bit disjointed rather than so...orderly in the middle. Like maybe have the title in the upper left corner and your name in the lower right corner, esp. if you can do the font of the title and your name in a more skewed way. If you were to look at the cover of "mystic river" I'm thinking something a little like that.
OR even better perhaps, would be to have the binary code go vertically down one side of the cover, and have the title and name at the bottom.
I think what it is really, for me, is that I like the photo so much, I feel like you're covering it with the title in an inconvient place to take in the art of the cover. That can be considered a good thing I suppose though...
I would run the 1, 0, numbers off the sides of the page - unless there is a meaningful reason not to. I can guess that the binary code is supposed to be degrading, but if that is the case, you can still have it run off one side. I think that would imply that there is a greater amount of code that can't be read that the numbers are coming from.
an interesting point. does the binary say anything as is, I suddenly wonder?
cloudscudding, as it is you have three type faces (the police tape and the binary as well as title & author.) Is there a reason to have three? The title looks a bit news-type like, perhaps that is intentional. News bylines probably would have the author's name smaller. I feel this is a minor point however.

I do agree with the above comments that the text could benefit from some tuning, but I'm not good at graphic design, so no specific suggestions here.
