Marc Notes: 64.9 million years ago, dinosaurs - far more advanced than fossilised bone fragments would ever reveal - ruled the earth. Their civilisation evolved, unchallenged, until the Black Blood emerged. 64.9 minutes from now, a human palaeontologist will make an earth-shattering discovery that will not only tock the foundation of modern science, but also bring the worlds of both humans and dinosaurs crashing back together with a vengeance. Biographical Note: A native of Orange County, California, James now lives in Tulsa with his son (Vector) and wife (Claire), who, at time of writing, are pretty sure he's a massive dork. As Creative Development Director for Steelehouse Productions, James gets to play make-believe every day on a professional level - not only generating original characters, worlds, and intellectual properties, but revising, re-imagining, and/or rebooting existing brands. As an artist, writer, professional nerd, and member of official Transformers movie tie-in canon (dramatic pause), James got his start in the industry at 21 when he sold his first cartoon to "Simpsons" producer, Film Roman. Since then he's written and developed comics, television, features and other oddities for Hasbro, TokyoPop, Dreamworks, Studio B, and New Line Cinema - his web series XOMBIE and TRAINS-FORMERS racking up over 106 million views combined. Contributor Bio:  Farr, James James Farr is a Professor of Political Science and the Director of a Chicago-based civic internship program at Northwestern University. He is the co-editor of After Marx (Cambridge, 1984) and, most recently, The General Will: The Evolution of a Concept (Cambridge, 2015). His studies place Marx and Engels in the context of historical debates about method and their reception in the history of political thought.
