About the Author
Jonathan Hayward is a polymath with advanced degrees bridging mathematics,
computers (UIUC), theology, and philosophy. He obtained his theology and
philosophy degrees from Cambridge University. He has worked in many areas of
web development, with a site (http://cjsh.name/) for "after hours" titles, and he is
also interested in the human side of computing, including usability/UI/UX. His
most popular work is a piece of poetry at https://cjshayward.com/doxology/. The
faster route to get there is by typing cjsh.name/doxology, and it gets there.
Jonathan has studied many languages, including French, Spanish, Latin, and
Greek. He is currently learning Russian. He has worked on various other books
as well (refer to http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-
alias%3Daps&field-keywords=%22CJS+Hayward%22 to find out more).
I would like to thank my parents, John and Linda; my brothers, Matthew, Joe,
and Kirk; my sisters-in-law, Kristin and Adrien; and my nephews, Jack and
James. I would also like to thank all of the Packt Publishing editorial team,
including a great many who I do not know, but I would like to single out Usha,
Akshay, Neetu, Mohita, and Aparna. They are the editors who left me wishing
we lived next door. Finally, I'd like to thank all those at Facebook for releasing
ReactJS as a framework that is free for the rest of the world.
About the Reviewers
Antal Orcsik is a full-stack web developer from Hungary. He works at Prezi
(https://prezi.com/) as a payment engineer. In the last decade, he worked for
Hungary's biggest real estate catalog site and one of the biggest local weather
portals. Then he joined the fantastic team that created a revolutionary
presentation tool called Prezi to change the way the world shares ideas. During
this time, he gained experience in Scala, Python, and PHP backend environments
as well as JavaScript frontend technologies, while experimenting with various
other fields of the full-stack web development spectrum. Antal is a big fan of
cats, games, science fiction, and hamburgers.
I would like to thank my lovely girlfriend for her support and patience while I
played my part in creating this book.
For the past 2 years, he has been researching travel search paradigms and
technology with the intention of launching a new project that is expected to
rethink the way we do travel planning. As a result, he has worn many hats, but
never all of them at once.

Title: Inconstancy
Language: English
By ROGER DEE
Illustrated by SUMMERS
The girl was small and slender, well under Mirrh Yahn y Cona's
athletic six-foot height. She was warmly and roundly vital with a
stunning abundance of life at which the two-dimensional simulacra of
recorded soap-opera could only hint.
"Miss Leila Anderson," Ellis introduced her. "Member of Diplomatic,
so it's all in the family."
She took the hand that Mirrh Yahn y Cona raised as if to defend
himself.
"I'm to see that you aren't bored to death here among strangers," she
said. "All work and no play isn't good for anyone. Especially," she said
to Ellis, "for one so handsome. I didn't dream he'd look so—"
"So Terran," Ellis finished before she could say so human. "And why
not? We're from the same original stock, separated ages before our
history begins. Martian annals run back for millennia, did you know?
Gold mine of information, settle problems our experts have puzzled
over for centuries."
"I am not truly representative of my people," Mirrh Yahn y Cona said
with some bitterness. "A special case, reared from birth for this
assignment."
The multisensory projector swung into the Tchulkione Serafi's Song of
Parting. Mirrh Yahn y Cona's resonant baritone, operatically assertive
above Yrml's reedy soprano, filled the room. He shut off the machine
abruptly, feeling a sense of desecration that the tender scene had
been bared to alien eyes.
Still he felt a puzzling premonitory twinge of guilt when the projection
collapsed. Yrml had been infinitely desirable when the sequence was
cubed; why should she now seem so sallow and angular, so suddenly
and subtly distant?
"Remarkable voice," Ellis said. "You could make a fortune with it
here."
"It was lovely," Leila Anderson said. "Could I hear the rest of it some
time?"
"No." He realized his curtness and added, "It is the Song of Parting
for lovers. Very personal."
He found that he was still holding Leila's hand, and dropped it hastily.
Ellis, who had risen high in Diplomatic for good reasons, stepped
competently into the breach.
"Night duty calls," Ellis said. "Let's be off."
