The Maker Movement Manifesto: Rules for Innovation in the New World of Crafters, Hackers, and Tinkerers

Excelente livro sobre Maker Moviment

Really a great read. Mark lays out a practical and valuable manifesto that sets the groundwork for real and meaningful change. His call to actions are inspirational and come at a perfect time as the maker movement rises in prominence and even begins to impact major brands. Even if you aren't a "maker" the book is great motivational reading, and a great primer for those being impacted by the movement and trying to understand the motivation and driving force behind it. Also of note - as founder of TechShop Mark is someone who has "walked to walk" very successfully and has a great deal of credibility in the space

Mark Hatch is a very good writer and captures the Maker Movement with insights into macro economic influences alongside anecdotes of actual makers and their experiences in utilizing technology and tool collectives. The lessons and insights are useful for both for profit or not for profit Makerspaces. I found myself making notes and getting ideas on every page. Well done.

I like the book. The information on the movement and a lot of the individual comments were great. My only thought is it could have been edited down a bit without losing any of the good stuff. It would have made a nice series of articles in the Maker magazine rather than put it into a book. However that doesn't generate revenue or get the message out to the broader populace which the book will. As a point of comparison I am half way through Zero to Maker: Learn (Just Enough) to Make (Just About) Anything by David Lang and this is a better read.

If you're a skilled professional who is sidelined in this economy and have 10, 20, 30 or more years of experience, your future may depend upon fully engaging in the MAKER MOVEMENT and finding a truly fulfilling way to apply your talents. The MAKER MOVEMENT MANIFESTO highlights the importance of being able to fail quickly and inexpensively so this ever important and necessary cycle of trial & error can lead to success. I loved this book and found it to be a very encouraging note of optimism in an otherwise dark economy. Every technical institute/college program should make this required reading! Democratization has finally come to the inventing field and the future is looking much brighter.
