What happens to America when two geeks working from a garage invent easy 3D printing, a cure for obesity, and crowd-sourced theme parks? Lawsuits against Disney are only the beginning in this major novel of the booms, busts, and further booms in store for America in the age of open source and its hero/hacker culture.

Review of 'Makers' on 'Storygraph'

This book has not aged well, and there are a lot of things that just rubs me the wrong way. Weird, because I am a fan of Doctorow's.

Finished a bit over half before I decided it's just not worth it.
