I'm interested in the concepts behind Tinkerers, and I think it has a very important messages. The most important may be that things aren't simple; there are many explanations and no single villain, but none-the-less the problem is real and needs to be addressed - even if the subject of economic policy is not as exciting as video games."What if America lost its knack for making things? Manufacturing is the root that all other projects sprout from... even the arts! In a new graphic novel - TINKERERS - famed author David Brin combines art with a guided tour of history and tech, exploring how to win back the knack!
I kid you not! I was asked by a major metals industry group to create a comic book set in 20 years, that discusses the many reasons for US industrial decline... and how it might come back. A low-res preview edition is available online (if you'll spread the word!)
Physical copies will be available soon from Amazon. I cover the whole range. Comments are welcome...
Tinkerers has its own Facebook page! "
It's worth your time reading through the version on the internet; it's not as exciting as your average manga, but it is a quick read, and full of stuff that should make you go huh! Let me know what you think!
