I’m sure neither of them will forget Chapter 6 or the Not Lazy Susan any time soon.
Thanks to the other residents, fellows, and staff for making it an inspiring place to
work.

To everyone who helped edit remotely or made it to my Book & Bribe parties (and Tom
for seeding the idea), where I stealthily convinced friends and colleagues to read
through early drafts by serving food and drinks: Matt Bninski, Lee Carlson, Joanna
Cohen, Stephen Delaporte, Russ de la Torre, Heather Dewey-Hagborg, Rob Faludi, Eric
Forman, Michelle Kempner, Jenn King, Adam Lassy, Ben Leduc-Mills, Adi Marom, Gale
Paulsen, Jennifer Pazdon, Lauren Schmidt, Greg Shakar, Ted Southern, Becky Stern,
Mike Sudano, Corrie Van Sice, Dana Vinson, Irene Yachbes, and any others I may have
forgotten.

To the team at McGraw-Hill for being patient and answering every last question of
mine. Thanks to my book agent, Neil Salkind, who has nurtured this first-time author
with enthusiasm from our very first email contact.

To Kickstarter.com and all our backers for helping Ben Leduc-Mills and me fund the
SADbot project. And thanks to Ben for having the idea and roping me in—you’ll make
a great computer scientist.

And finally, to my partner Lorena, for her unconditional love and support. I will never
be a good enough writer to describe in words how much you mean to me.
