Michel Bauwens

20th March 2009

Thanks to Kevin Carson for alerting us that Cory Doctorow’s upcoming science fiction novel, Themepunks, has been pre-serialized in Salon magazine, where it starts here.

According to Kevin:

‘The serialized portion, the first third of the book, was excellent. It was an account of an explosion of desktop manufacturing, set against the background of an imploding corporate economy. He gave hints in the online chapters that things would go badly for the homebrew production movement, which I’m sure will be a letdown, but I still look forward to how it turns out.’

For an older SF treatment of the theme, see Theodore Sturgeon’s Skills of Xanadu.
