Acknowledgements

I would like to dedicate Daedalus to my dad, Andy Sag, who died mid 2026 at the ripe young age of 88. He never got to read this book, and I doubt he would have liked it much if he did.

I'd like to thank various friends and family who read early drafts, Lawrie, Pete, Launz, Sandy, Andrea, Matt, Ric, Richard, Paul, Andy. Thanks so much for your insights and feedback. I listened to most of it.

I'd also like to thank my wife, Caroline, who lets me pursue my strange passions, be they book writing, coding, or just chilaxing in the fresh air, without judgement. I love you my sweet.
