The Complete Roderick

THANKS

To Alan Jones of North East London Polytechnic, who helped me program a plot. Thanks to Jasia Reichardt, for conversations about robots, and especially for writing her excellent Robots: Fact, Fiction and Prediction (London: Thames & Hudson, 1978).

Special thanks to Ivan Klingels, without whose loan of an office for an entire year, this book would not have been written.

I’m grateful to the publisher for permission to quote from the English translation of ‘Les Fenêtres’ from Calligrammes by Guillaume Apollinaire © Editions Gallimard 1925.
