But there is another way. After all, now that anyone can design and print the basic necessities of life  food, clothing, shelter  from a computer, there is little reason to toil within the system. So, like thousands of others in the mid-21st century, the three of them turn their back on the world of rules, jobs, the morning commute and... walkaway.

Still, when the initial pioneer walkaways flourish, the thousands become hundreds of thousands, building what threatens to beome a post-scarcity utopia. But then the walkaways discover the one thing the ultra-rich have never been able to buy: how to beat death. And now it's war a war that will turn the world upside down Co-editor of BOING BOING and the author of the YA graphic novel IN REAL LIFE , the nonfiction business book INFORMATION DOESNT WANT TO BE FREe , and young adult novels like HOMELAND , PIRATE CINEMA AND LITTLE BROTHER and novels for adults like RAPTURE OF THE NERDS and MAKERS .
