I enjoyed this book the way I enjoy most of Cory Doctorow’s books – for the insight they give on the way things could go in the future. I don’t necessarily agree, but he always has an interesting perspective on things.

I think this book is really just his perspective on how 3D printers will change society. There’s lots here about business models, Disney, relationships, and so on, but the real meat of the science fiction is all about 3D printing.

Part of me can’t wait for 3D printing to become affordable and commonplace. Part of me is mildly terrified by the idea and its implications. But it was a lot of fun reading someone else’s thoughts on the matter, especially someone who seems to have really thought about it.
