GALILEO
The Eye That Broke the Sky
by James Johnson
Dedication
To the ones who keep looking up, even when they’re told not to.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
THANKS TO THE thinkers who refused to shut up.
To the misfits, mechanics, heretics, and builders who saw farther than they were supposed to.
To every teacher who taught curiosity over memorization.
And to everyone who ever asked, “Wait, how do we know that?”
Also thanks to my crew, my readers, and the entire James Johnson publishing ecosystem that makes all this possible.
