Summary "Makers" by Cory Doctorow is a science fiction novel written in the early 21st century. The story delves into the world of innovation, entrepreneurship, and the impact of technology on society. The protagonist, Suzanne Church, is a business journalist navigating the changing landscape of Silicon Valley as she covers the controversial new CEO of a combined Kodak/Duracell and the implications of his vision for a new form of entrepreneur-focused company. The opening of the novel sets the stage with Suzanne attending a press conference led by the enigmatic CEO Landon Kettlewell, who presents his radical idea of transforming the declining companies into a network of entrepreneurial teams. As the press listens with skepticism, accusations of ethics and job losses loom large. The dynamics of Silicon Valley's shifting paradigms become apparent through Suzanne's observations, intertwining her professional duties with the human stories of the laid-off workers. The introduction suggests a blend of satire, socio-economic commentary, and speculative technology as the narrative unfolds, promising a deep exploration of what it means to create and innovate in a rapidly evolving world.
