It takes a network to write a book. We extend a huge thanks to Talia Krohn for her fantastic job editing the book and for passionately championing the project for more than a year. Lisa DiMona offered wise counsel and encouragement from the very beginning. Brett Bolkowy assisted in researching and refining the book’s ideas and contributed essential organizational support. Peter Economy and Josh Mitrani provided research and editorial support. Von Glitschka did the chapter illustrations.
I’ve had the joy and delight of working with some of my close network on this book. I unfortunately missed working with other key people in my network on this project due to logistical constraints. So it feels right to thank all of my network, because they all helped develop the ideas herein. In particular, I’d like to call out three of my teachers whose early gifts of time and insight changed my life: Lisa Cox and Tom Wessells from the Putney School, who set me on my initial path of being a public intellectual, and Jonathan Reider at Stanford University, who amplified that path.

I’m grateful to the many people who supported me in this project. A special tip of the hat to Jessie Young, Stephen Dodson, Chris Yeh, and Cal Newport for going beyond the call of duty. And heartfelt thanks to my parents for everything they do.
