ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The editors would like to thank the many, many people, earthbound and celestial, who made this possible, including Lauren Beukes, Rebecca Nuotio, China Miéville, Joey Hi-Fi, Laika, Doctor Richard Kron and the guidance counselor that once told Anne she wasn’t cut out for astrophysics.
Above all, we would like to thank Emma McLean and Marek Kukula. Without their hard work, patience and imagination, this would never would have been possible.
