ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I want to acknowledge Al Clark, Professor of Humanities, who has supported my research through seemingly endless cycles of austerity and crisis. Al, your boundless energy, curiosity and dedication to excellence have served as a polestar for this academic wanderer. On a related astrological note, I want to praise to the skies my Palgrave Editorial Director, Brigitte Shull, who, from first contact to contract has been a shining beacon of positivity.

I also want to thank my friend, Mark Zuckerberg, and everyo
