Many thanks to all of my contributors for this anthology, my first with Baen as me being the guy herding the metaphorical cats. This was my first time editing several of the contributors here, thank you for being your awesome selves and making it easy.
Special thanks go to Sharon Cauthen, for granting me permission to reprint “Bag Man” in this anthology. I invited Jack Clemons to contribute to my first anthology, We Dare, back in 2019, and he turned in one helluva cyberpunk story that has stuck with me to this day. It was gritty, it was stylish, it was badass, and it went out on one helluva “oof.” I bugged Jack for several years afterwards to write more, but unfortunately it didn’t happen. Jack kicked in the doors to Valhalla on May 4th, 2024, and Odin’s hall hasn’t been the same since. Miss you, big guy.
