We would like to thank all those who contributed to this book. It required massive amounts of research in a fast-changing technology world and was a team effort. For editing, John Harvey was instrumental in polishing prose and structuring our arguments. For research, Sachin Maini provided critical insights into our ever-morphing research objectives.
We also want to acknowledge the incredible patience and good cheer of our incredible spouses, Tavinder and Lisa, as we finished another crazy project together. They have to worry not only about technology changes but also about the roller-coaster ride their husbands took in studying them. As you will have realized, our oscillations between technology’s goods and evils make Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde look positively stable.
Last, we want to think Jeevan Sivasubramaniam and Neal Maillet from Berrett-Koehler for their editorial wisdom and guidance through the publishing process. Publishers don’t usually provide authors with much more than deadlines and criticism; Neal and Jeevan stand out for their engagement, their enthusiasm, and their all-around understanding of authorial fumbles.
