The writer of any book inevitably accrues debts, and when its theme is as interdisciplinary as this one those debts are particularly keenly felt. During the near-decade that it has taken to complete this work, I have received generous help from a wide range of people. I am conscious of the inadequacy of any acknowledgment I can now give in return.

I don’t know [to start like a Linkin Park song], but fiction writers owe a lot of what they write to the writers they read.
Sometimes reading earlier authors we hadn’t read before those that we already have [more contemporary ] is a discovery in itself. To know where certain ideas came from is a delight.
