The Book of the Die

Luke Rhinehart

I dedicate this book to my wife Ann, who ordered me to write it – and then, miraculum mirandum, liked it.

And thanks too to Francis and Chris, who had nothing to do with this particular book, but who are owed thanks in general for years of support; and to Dan Mandel, who always does well no matter the paucity of potential reward; and to Susan Opie and Andrew Ashton at HarperCollins, who went way out of their way to design a book whose look mirrors its contents.

And lastly to my friends and fellow seekers who rashly let me use their words in The Book of the Die. They must now suffer guilt by association.
