He's really gone in a different direction with these last two, which are more like Magic Kingdom than like anything he's done in between. I loved Little Brother, and I'm enjoying Makers, though I constantly have reservations about him as an author too. He almost has a Michael Moore-like tone as he sets out this version of reality where he tweaks reality to prove his points — neither his technology nor his people are entirely believable to me. I tend to feel like he cheats. And yet I often WANT to believe in his shiny happy vision of the future, where technology is the answer to everything.
And so far Makers is exactly about that new fight you mention, in terms of driving innovation, business, employment, the economy, and entrepreneurship in the next century, so now I'm even more curious for your take on it.
