Task 3 : remixed piece based on “Makers” by Cory Doctorow.
“Makers” was both an exhilarating and thought-provoking read. A creative novel about creative people by a creative author, it’s filled to the brim with ideas and possibilities of the near-future. Ideas so fantastic and inventive yet seemingly possible that you can almost taste it. And yet, there is a dark twist to it.
side note : The poison in the piece is a cocktail called “Alien Brain Haemorrhage”. Though not exactly eaten with a spoon, this sweet shot is one cool poison that leaves you giddy in a good way.
At least until you get to your sixth one.
