Shaping Things
By Bruce Sterling

"It's the most thought provoking thing I've read all year....
I can tell that this is a book I'll return to again and again
and get more out of it each time I do. It's a wonderful and
timely work that is a must-read in an age of ubiquitous
computation, universal information resources, and hacker-activist
renaissance, there's no better primer for putting it all together."
-- Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing.net
