“This brilliant book analyses hacking and making: the leading spirits of our technological age. Making Our World is essential reading for anyone trying to understand how information technologies are being created and are creating our society and the strategies being used by those who make such technologies outside of corporations and governments. The book brings together world-leading experts on some of the most recent technological innovations, and these authors deliver a powerful analysis of the global meaning of both making and hacking technologies. Importantly, the book has a genuinely international reach because it refuses to take the ‘global’ to be some generic allencompassing idea and instead analyses in specific contexts around the world the different ways hacking and making create and are being created in society.” —Tim Jordan, Professor of Digital Cultures at the University of Sussex
