The moral right of the author has been asserted

The book is dedicated to the late Chris Boyce who suggested nearly all the science and some of the fiction. It is also indebted to Margaret Mead whose Coming of Age in Samoa suggested a kindlier society than her critics thought possible; also to Bruce Charlton for medical advice and Scott Pearson for scholarly research and proof correction
