Acknowledgments

Thanks, as always, are due to my staff: Anna Campbell, our Reviews Editor, had to step down from Technoculture due to the an increased load at work. André Favors, who continues his good work with Technoculture as he has for years now, has done an excellent job of finding reviewers for our critical essays—a job that gets harder every year as the number and the areas of interest in our submissions grow. I am also grateful for Sarah K. Jackson, who continues as our very able Creative Editor.

We very much appreciate the continued support of Jordan Kellman, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette for his financial support. And we could not publish without our many reviewers. Your work is sometimes overlooked in the vast sea of things you do for English, Communication Studies and other fields, but we do very much appreciate your hard efforts, as, I know, do our authors.

Thank you all!
