acknowledgments

We’d like to thank everyone who helped make this book possible. To our colleagues at Neo4j: your insights, feedback, and shared passion for graphs and generative AI kept us on track and inspired us to dig deeper. A special nod goes to the engineering and research teams—your work laid the groundwork for many ideas in these pages.

We’re grateful to the Manning team for guiding us through the process with patience and expertise. Their support turned our rough drafts into something worth reading. Special thanks go to Paco Nathan for writing the foreword to this book. Many thanks also go to technical editor Arturo Geigel for the invaluable help that he gave us. Arturo is an independent researcher from Puerto Rico who is recognized for being the inventor of Neural Trojans and currently carries out research machine learning, graph theory, and technological analysis.
