In "Designing Reality," the Gershenfeld brothers and Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld explore the potential of a third digital revolution: fabrication. Following the computing and communication revolutions, this shift converges the digital and physical worlds, moving beyond 3D printers to a future where anyone can make almost anything.
The authors present a vision of community fabrication labs, personal fabrication, and even replicators reminiscent of "Star Trek." This revolution promises self-sufficient communities and global sustainability. However, it also carries the risk of exacerbating inequality.
Drawing on historical trends and cutting-edge research, the book offers a roadmap to proactively shape society, ensuring that digital fabrication benefits everyone, not just a privileged few. "Designing Reality" serves as a guide to not only survive but flourish in this transformative era.
