Read an extract from Makers

 Perry and Lester invent things. All sorts of things. Seashell robots that make toast, Boogie Woogie Elmo dolls that drive cars. They also invent an entirely new economic system for the technological era, dubbed ‘New Work’, which leads barefoot bankers to microinvest in high-tech communal start-ups all over the country, just like Perry and Lester’s. They are transforming a country, and journalist Suzanne Church is there to document every moment.

But when the ‘New Work’ bubble finally bursts, it puts the dot.com-bomb to shame. Down but not out, Perry and Lester go back to what they do best – making stuff. Jealous of their new-found success, a rogue Disney executive convinces the police that their amazing 3-D printers are being used to run off AK-47s, and things get very dark very quickly…
