More important than the word choice, the representative character of the book is male. Potential female readers will not see this book as for them because they don't identify with the icon. There should be a male/female team or an ambiguous space slug.

I've seen the same trend. And, if we're going to change perceptions of
computing, the language we use isn't a bad place to start---simply
because we *can* control it.
