*The Critical Makers Reader: (Un)Learning Technology*
Edited by Loes Bogers & Letizia Chiappini
Published by the Institute of Network Cultures

*A decade ago many gushed at the possibilities of 3D printers and other DIY
tech. Today makers are increasingly shaking off their initial blind
enthusiasm to numerically control everything, rediscovering an interest in
sociocultural histories and futures and waking up to the environmental and
economic implications of digital machines that transform materials. An
accumulation of critique has collectively registered that no tool, service,
or software is good, bad, or neutral—or even free for that matter. We’ve
arrived at a crossroads, where a reflective pause coincides with new
critical initiatives emerging across disciplines. *

*What was making? What is making? What could making become? And what about
unmaking? The Critical Makers Reader features an array of practitioners and
scholars who address these questions. Together, they tackle issues of
technological making and its intersections with (un)learning, art and
design, institutionalization, social critique, community organizing,
collaboration, activism, urban regeneration, social inequality, and the
environmental crisis.*
