The authors would like to thank Jennifer Beasley, Paul Bender, Maia Elkana, and the users of MetaFilter.com for inspiring Law and the Multiverse and encouraging its creation. We are extremely grateful to John Schwartz of The New York Times for exposing the blog to a wider audience. We thank Steve Ross, Patrick Mulligan, and the staff at Gotham for their help in turning Law and the Multiverse into this book. We also thank our employers and colleagues, particularly F. Scott Kieff, for their understanding and support of our little side project, and our families for putting up with the acquisition of more comic books than strictly necessary. And we thank Sharon Lim for her assistance in ensuring that the citations in the book conformed to the Bluebook standard. Last, but most certainly not least, we thank our readers, without whom none of this would have been possible.
