Makers - by Cory Doctorow. This book, set in the not-too-distant future, follows the boom and fall of an industrial revolution based on rapid prototyping. 3d printers are the basis for this revolution and by the end of the book, companies are practically giving them away and everyone has one in their own home. It was a pretty quick read and kind of inspired me to start building things. - Margaret
