Acknowledgments 

 

This book would not have been possible without the encouragement and support of several people. Among them: my very patient editors Marc Gascoigne and Lee Harris; the stellar publicity staff at Angry Robot Books and the Robot Army; my agent Monica Pacheco of Anne McDermid & Associates; Brian David Johnson at Intel Labs and Joe Zawadsky of The Tomorrow Project; the best former roommate ever, Theresa Taing; Sandra Kasturi and Brett Alexander Savory and everyone who makes the ChiSeries what it is; my parents; the Cecil Street Irregulars; my teachers Marc Gabel and Kaya McGregor, and Jessica Langer.
