Acknowledgments

First, to my best critic-vetters who know what they did, Cathrine Hasse, Robert Rosenberger, and Robert Scharff, to whom I also dedicate this volume; then to Linda, my wife, who helps with my computer problems and gives advice and help; then to the University of Minnesota Press team: Danielle Kasprzak, Anne Carter, Doug Armato, and the others unnamed; to the whole Stony Brook group, colleagues, especially Robert Crease, Marshall Spector, Lorenzo Simpson, and to my six bright PhD advisees doing phil-tech dissertations from 2006 to 2013, plus many more from other countries; the stimulation of the technoscience research seminar with its quadruple continent visitors: Asia, the Americas, and Europe.
