-----------------

From the Introduction:

Nonfiction collections typically are either academic or alternative, leftist or rightist, atheistic or religious, or otherwise unified in some similar way. Everything You Know Is Wrong rejects this intellectual balkanization, and, in doing so, brings together contributors who ordinarily wouldn't be appearing together in the same book. Some of the contributors were aware of only a handful of others who would be appearing, while most of them didn't know who else would be sharing pages with them. All this means is that you shouldn't make the assumption--which is quite easy to unknowingly make with most nonfiction anthologies--that every contributor agrees with or thinks favorably of every other contributor. Hey, maybe they all just love each other to death. I don't know one way or the other, but the point is that I alone am responsible for the group that appears here. So, if you just can't believe that Person A would ever appear in a book with Person B, don't blame either of them. All responsibility lies with Person K (for Kick). Put another way: No contributor necessarily endorses the message of any other contributor.
