Reviews
"I know many science fiction writers engaged in the cyber-world, but Cory Doctorow is a native. We should all hope and trust that our culture has the guts and moxie to follow this guy. He's got a lot to tell us." -- Bruce Sterling "A rousing tale of techno-geek rebellion--as necessary and dangerous as file sharing, free speech, and bottled water on a plane." -- Scott Westerfeld on Little Brother "A terrific read.... It claims a place in the tradition of polemical science-fiction novels like 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 (with a dash of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington )." -- The New York Times Book Review on Little Brother "Enthralling.... One of the year's most important books." -- Chicago Tribune on Little Brother

Synopsis
From Cory Doctorow, the New York Times bestselling author of Little Brother , the repackaged trade paperback of Makers, a novel of the booms, busts, and further booms in store for America--now with a new cover Perry and Lester invent things--seashell robots that make toast, Boogie Woogie Elmo dolls that drive cars. They also invent entirely new economic systems, like the "New Work," a New Deal for the technological era. Barefoot bankers cross the nation, microinvesting in high-tech communal mini-startups like Perry and Lester's. Together, they transform the country, and Andrea Fleeks, a journo-turned-blogger, is there to document it. Then it slides into collapse. The New Work bust puts the dot.combomb to shame. Perry and Lester build a network of interactive rides in abandoned Wal-Marts across the land. As their rides, which commemorate the New Work's glory days, gain in popularity, a rogue Disney executive grows jealous, and convinces the police that Perry and Lester's 3D printers are being used to run off AK-47s. Hordes of goths descend on the shantytown built by the New Workers, joining the cult. Lawsuits multiply as venture capitalists take on a new investment strategy: backing litigation against companies like Disney. Lester and Perry's friendship falls to pieces when Lester gets the 'fatkins' treatment, turning him into a sybaritic gigolo. Then things get really interesting., From the New York Times bestselling author of Little Brother, a major novel of the booms, busts, and further booms in store for America, From Cory Doctorow, the New York Times bestselling author of Little Brother , the repackaged trade paperback of Makers, a novel of the booms, busts, and further booms in store for America--now with a new cover Perry and Lester invent things--seashell robots that make toast, Boogie Woogie Elmo dolls that drive cars.
