<p>Dear Reader,<br />
I began researching and writing Beyond Dystopia! nearly four years ago, and I alone am responsible for its contents. Still, as far as I am concerned, who I am is unimportant.<br />
What is important to me is this book, for it is my contribution to the world of human commerce, which fortunately still includes ideas.<br />
Though it could be said of me truthfully that I am something of a recluse, I nonetheless invite you to write to me at sonofsilence@riseup.net with any comments or questions you may have regarding my book. <br />
It is my hope that reading Beyond Dystopia! will help you in some way. <br />
Sincerely,<br />
James Thomas Lukasavage</p>
