Alan Moore, Steven Schneider, Nathan Shedroff, Chris Noessell, Mary Shelley, Alan Stelle, H.G. Wells and Paula Zizzi.
Over the years SF prototyping has seen the support of some incredible people and I don’t think we would have made it this far without them: Justin Rattner, Tadayoshi Kohno, Sumi Helal, Duckki Lee, Wolfgang Minker, Michael Weber, Hani Hagras, Achilles D. Kameas, Juan Carlos Augusto, Jeannette Chin, Don Wallace, April Miller, Antonio Tatum, Jim Olsen, Klaus Obermaier, Sean Hanna, Darrin Johnson and Vernor Vinge.
I want acknowledge the University of Washington and Professor Sarah Perez-Kriz’s “Science Fiction Prototyping” class for piloting this book and developing some thoughtful and engaging SF prototypes.
Thanks to Mike Morgan for his courage to publish this book and his enthusiasm for its rather unconventional subject matter.
Sandy Winkelman takes my words and turns them into not just pictures but whole worlds—my collaboration with him has been incredibly important to me and I could never thank him enough 25.
