ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
From Mark
David Drake provided his usual invaluable guidance to this neo editor.
Toni Weisskopf, both as co-editor and as publisher, also taught me useful lessons.
Jim Baen took a chance on this anthology and on my first novel, for both of which I'm grateful.
My children, Sarah and Scott, who continue to amaze and delight me, also manager to tolerate the oddities of having a father with two jobs, both insane.
Several extraordinary women—my wife, Rana Van Name; Allyn Vogel; Gina Massel-Castater; and Jennie Faries—as ever grace my life with their intelligence and support, and I remain surprised and thankful that they do.
Thank you, all.
From T.K.F. Weisskopf
Thanks to Jim Baen, for passing on his fascination for nanotech and the singularity, and making this volume possible.
