Bueno. La realidad es que me sorprendió mucho más The Long Tail y Free (fue el primero que leí), muchos de estos temas ya los conocía. Ahora me pondré a practicarlos pues creo firmemente en lo que menciona. Recomendado pero no el mejor.
fun and inspiring romp that, while I might not agree with the conclusions, I do love where the author thinks the future is heading.
I've total mixed feelings about this book. From one point of view I'm a believer on Makers.. But from another point of view I cannot accept the idea that the entire population will adopt this positioning.
Albeit Chris Anderson understands he is talking about niches and not the full spectrum of social life, a lot of his arguments are controversial because sometimes he assumes the entire world working in that same model.
A book all of us worried about the future of work, technology, and creativity should read, but with a lot of caution.

Rewriting this one... very dry but with a couple weeks of still thinking on topics covered in this book I realize it has had a major impact on my outlook on the future of the world and the possibilities for innovation.
Interesting read, easy read too. Not a book on the mindset needed to make things or on the specifics of creating things with 3D printers or like machinery. It's more of a big picture book about technology changing the economy
Pretty good. I definitely enjoyed this book more as it went on - the first part felt like a bunch of stuff I already kind of knew, but by the second part it was telling stories about how all these ideas come together with real businesses which was more interesting.
This helped me see how the changes in digital fabrication have a far bigger impact than just 3D printers.
Also cool, this is the second book I've read called [b:Makers|6422238|Makers|Cory Doctorow|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1395894052s/6422238.jpg|6611457].

I found writing casual and easy to understand. the references were outdated which is natural since the book came out in 2012. (I read this at the end of 2019).
Overall I found it motivating for those who might have the entrepreneurial spirit the author promotes.

This is an important book. Maker's is basically a sequel to The Longtail. It's a deep look at what happens to the manufacturing (mostly in America) when physical manufacturing behaves like the digital world. If this book doesn't make you want to go out and buy a 3D printer or start putting together OpenHardware robots, I don't know what will.
