Making Our World: The Hacker and Maker Movements in Context describes and situates the political, historical, national, and organizational elements of hacking and making. Hackers and makers are often mythologized, leading to people misunderstanding them as folk heroes for the modern age. In response, this book describes and critiques these movements from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives to help readers appreciate their worldwide scope and highly localized interpretations. Making Our World is essential reading for students and scholars of technology and society, particularly those interested in social movements and DIY cultures.

Industry Reviews

"This brilliant book analyses hacking and making: the leading spirits of our technological age. Making Our World is essential reading for anyone trying to understand how information technologies are being created and are creating our society and the strategies being used by those who make such technologies outside of corporations and governments. The book brings together world-leading experts on some of the most recent technological innovations, and these authors deliver a powerful analysis of the global meaning of both making and hacking technologies. Importantly, the book has a genuinely international reach because it refuses to take the 'global' to be some generic allencompassing idea and instead analyses in specific contexts around the world the different ways hacking and making create and are being created in society." -Tim Jordan, Professor of Digital Cultures at the University of Sussex
