The Maker Revolution is a guidebook to the new industrial revolution. Artisans, crafters, DIYers, and inventors around the globe are changing the way we change the world—are you ready to join the movement? This book shows you how to find your place in the revolution. You’ll learn how the movement came about, and how Makers are already shifting paradigms and pushing the boundaries of innovation.
