This piece has had a long(ish) journey to publication, starting its life as one of the first chapters I wrote for my doctoral thesis. Thank you to everyone who has read, listened, and given feedback over the years, and to Emma Smith for continuing to be a generous, supportive and insightful editor.

I'm so glad it's not just me Greg! The final third of Weapons in particular felt like a really unpleasant slap in the face from Cregger, with some uncomfortably problematic elements woven in too.
