Acknowledgements
This Dissertation owes a great many ‘thank yous’, particularly to my Mum and Dad for repeated proof-reading. I also want to thank my friends for listening to my endless ramblings about cyber-theory and for putting up with my occasional bad moods when things weren’t going so well. Thanks also to my supervisor Mikel J. Koven, for helping me stay on track and pointing out some painfully obvious mistakes which I had missed. Lastly, a major thanks to the fans at forum.machinaesupremacy.com, the band, and especially Robert Stjärnström for answering my questions and generally being a really supportive and decent human being.
