Thank you to the following people who didn’t let me become a recluse while working on this book: Sophie Chapman, Alex Detott, Mitchell Goodfellow, Reuben Ingall, Sam McGregor, Laura Pharaoh, Jeremy Quay, Paddy Quiggan, Alex Schinzinger (again), and Seon Williams. Special thanks to Trephina Mackay, who called me every single week to check up on me, and Paul Kopetko, who still makes me laugh after ten years of friendship.
Lastly, a huge thanks to the thousands of people who made The Lab a success. Thank you to everyone who bought it, everyone who took the time to tell me how much they enjoyed it, and everyone who recommended it to their friends. Consider this book your reward.
