They also invent entirely new economic systems, like the “New Work,” a New Deal for the technological era. Barefoot bankers cross the nation, microinvesting in high-tech communal mini-startups like Perry and Lester’s. Together, they transform the country, and Andrea Fleeks, a journo-turned-blogger, is there to document it. Then it slides into collapse. The New Work bust puts the dot.combomb to shame. Perry and Lester build a network of interactive rides in abandoned Wal-Marts across the land. As their rides, which commemorate the New Work’s glory days, gain in popularity, a rogue Disney executive grows jealous, and convinces the police that Perry and Lester’s 3D printers are being used to run off AK-47s. Hordes of goths descend on the shantytown built by the New Workers, joining the cult. Lawsuits multiply as venture capitalists take on a new investment strategy: backing litigation against companies like Disney. Lester and Perry’s friendship falls to pieces when Lester gets the ‘fatkins’ treatment, turning him into a sybaritic gigolo. Then things get really interesting. 作者简介： 科利·多克托罗（1971年7月11日－）生于加拿大多伦多，科幻小说作家和技术激进主义分子。他也是互联网文化博客Boing Boing的联合编辑。 多克托罗在他的网站上提供他的小说和一些短篇故事集全文电子版的下载，这些作品在知识共享协议下发行。他放宽了一些他作品的协议以允许非商业性的二次创作或衍生作品。 本书英文版下载地址：http://craphound.com/makers/download/
