e_phemerart66) Doctorow, Cory. MAKERS. Tor: 2009.
Cory Doctorow's work is up to the minute (or perhaps 30 seconds into the future). It is the perfect science fiction and manifesto for Makers, Hackers, DIY'ers and Entrepreneurs. I'm not by any means a tech geek, but I am a fan of Cory Doctorow who can make me see the art & culture of technology! Loved this novel.
Publisher's Weekly starred review: In this tour de force, Doctorow uses the contradictions of two overused SF themes—the decline and fall (or Disney-fication) of America and the boundless optimism of open source/hacker culture—to draw one of the most brilliant reimaginings of the near future since cyberpunk wore out its mirror shades. The result is bitingly realistic and miraculously avoids cliché or predictability.
