Edited by José Ramos, Michel Bauwens, Sharon Ede and Gien Wong: The Cosmolocal Reader features over 50 chapters documenting and discussing the theory and practice of cosmolocalism. From modular automotive manufacturing to agri-robotics and peer-to-peer farming, community-driven wind power and housing construction... to biohacking, furniture fabrication, upcycling, prosthetics, and disaster relief, over 40 cases and examples from around the world provide a foundation to consider what exists and what could be.?Cosmolocalism stands for a transformation in how we produce the stuff of life. It is a contested space with no guarantees. There are patent wars and appropriations of IP, the challenges in building and financing open source and open design start-ups, creating urban commons ecosystems, and a variety of other challenges. But we see possibilities bubbling through the surface. And, the challenges we are facing are asking for bold and transformative thinking and strategy. Today we also hold new technological potentials, creative human labor that can be mutualized, and new modes of economic, political, and cultural organization. The ingredients for change are sitting before us. In this book, we bring many of these ingredients together for us to consider how we use these to shape the world we want to become.
