Description:

This book engages the political, historical, national, and organizational elements of the hacker and maker movements in their contemporary contexts.

Review Quotes: "Making Our World offers an expansive view of the continued evolution of discourses on hacking and making. Readers will appreciate the revitalizing commentary from various geographies and viewpoints that trouble taken-for-granted associations of making and hacking in the contemporary global economy and culture. This book is good reading for those seeking to understand not just the ideals and values that continue to be attached to making and hacking but also the variegated situated practices that accompany their reproduction and repurposes in various sociopolitical contexts." --Seyram Avle, Assistant Professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst
