Acknowledgments
I am fortunate to have many friends and no shame about asking for help. Every one of my
friends has been approached, some of them many times, with requests for information or
editorial suggestions. I apologize for not listing them all. A few individuals played a major
role in making the book happen. My thanks go first to Jason Zweig, who urged me into the
project and patiently tried to work with me until it became clear to both of us that I am
impossible to work with. Throughout, he has been generous with his editorial advice and
enviable erudition, and sentences that he suggested dot the book. Roger Lewin turned
transcripts of a set of lectures into chapter draft s. Mary Himmelstein provided valuable
assistance throughout. John Brockman began as an agent and became a trusted friend. Ran
Hassin provided advice and encouragement when it was most needed. In the final stages
of a long journey I had the indispensable help of Eric Chinski, my editor at Farrar, Straus
and Giroux. He knew the book better than I did and the work became an enjoyable
collaboration—I had not imagined that an editor could do as much as Eric did. My
daughter, Lenore Shoham, rallied round to help me through the hectic final months,
providing wisdom, a sharp critical eye, and many of the sentences in the “Speaking of”
sections. My wife, Anne Treisman, went through a lot and did a lot—I would have given
up long ago without her steady support, wisdom, and endless patience.
