Acknowledgments
Al ot of people have helped me out with specific problems, talked
me off of certain ledges, and obliquely suggested paths I actually
took. I owe particular thanks to Maria Damon for talking me into
writing this, and to Ian Buchanan for talking me into writing it twice.
Much of what is written here has been shaped by conversations with
friends, colleagues, and the wonderful Deleuze studies community (if
you could call it that). In particular . . . Young-ok An, Jeff Bell, Nadine
Boljkovac, Ray Brassier, Tony Brown, Levi Bryant, Cesare Casarino,
