I was a wee bit stingy with my acknowledgments in the book, mainly because I wanted my dedication to my darling Eve Berni to stand out.

So I’d now like to thank, first and foremost, James Clement for starting H+ magazine and thinking of me as a possible editor-in-chief. I’ve joked about it, but I think it was a good thing. It certainly was for me.

I’d also like to thank Dan Stoicescu for his support for H+ magazine and Acceler8or.

I’d like to thank David Orban and Alex Lightman for keeping H+ magazine going during my reign there.

Last but not least, I’d like to thank Rachel Haywire for her inspiration and for hipping me to some of the younger and edgier aspects of transhumanist culture, particularly the Grinders. Long may they grind!
