Would you listen to Makers again? Why?
If I were to start my own maker business I sure would, but otherwise as a consumer, the information comes across as “here’s what you need to know”, and thus has limited replay value.
Would you recommend Makers to your friends? Why or why not?
Yes, it’s a very helpful book to understand the way modern manufacturing and production is being changed by the internet and democratization of factories. Leaves you with a sense of capability and motivation to make something.
Did Rene Ruiz do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Yes, it was easy to tell who was doing what. There weren’t that many characters besides a few references, but each one was differentiated well enough.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
“People Power, Printers, and Production”
Any additional comments?
Great for introducing others to the maker movement, but as somebody that’s already been fairly caught up, some of the material was a bit redundant and less useful once you already get the gist of the topic.
