[p2p-research] Themepunks/Makers

[Kevin Carson]

Anyone here read the serialized initial chapters of Cory Doctorow's
Themepunks, at Salon?  I queried Doctorow re the expected publication
date of the print novel, and he said he's sending it to the publisher
this week and expects it to be for sale (under the title Makers) in
October.

The serialized portion, the first third of the book, was excellent.
It was an account of an explosion of desktop manufacturing, set
against the background of an imploding corporate economy.  He gave
hints in the online chapters that things would go badly for the
homebrew production movement, which I'm sure will be a letdown, but I
still look forward to how it turns out.
