Acknowledgements

This book exists thanks to the kind people who read drafts, made suggestions, and encouraged it on its way. They include: Danny Dorling, Ursula Huws, Chris McEvoy, Nick Nuttgens, Hsiao-Hung Pai, Natasha Stotesbury, Joe Shaw, Ciaran Walsh, Betsy Hartmann and Jim Boyce, Nancy Lindisfarne and Jonathan Neale, Sarah and Bob LeVine; and my friends at Oxford Brookes, especially Tom Betteridge, John LoBreglio, and all my colleagues in the Centre for Publishing Studies. I particularly want to thank Jonathan Rosenhead (emeritus professor of Operational Research at LSE), and Raul Espejo (Syncho Research, Lincoln; former leader of Chile’s Cybersyn project) for their time and patient explanations, which I hope I’ve not travestied.

My biggest debts are to Teresa Hayter, who lived with, read and tactfully critiqued the book as it evolved; and to New Internationalist for taking this on so wholeheartedly and so well – and for being such a clear and consistent voice for sanity and justice through more than 40 years of planetary mayhem.
