Este não é daqueles livros sobre impressão 3D que descreva quer a tecnologia quer os métodos de modelação. Antes, é uma reflexão, algo desconexa, sobre o potencial económico desta tecnologia. Apesar de claro na mensagem, o livro está estruturado como uma série de longos artigos de opinião onde o autor expõe a sua experiência prática, explorando o mercado das miniaturas em 3D, o viver e trabalhar na zona de Hong Kong-Shenzen, questões sobre propriedade intelectual e impressão 3D, ou as alterações que esta tecnologia trará ao conceito de manufactura industrial. Tem alguns interessantes intuições no que toca à educação - o potencial técnico da aprendizagem de criação em 3D para expandir o horizonte de carreiras das crianças, bem como a criatividade alicerçada na tecnologia; o colapsar dos paradigmas de direitos de autor, com Winnan a assumir uma posição decididamente libertária (ao ponto de indicar sites de torrents para descarga de conteúdo 3D ou tutoriais); os abalos a sistemas monopolistas de criação de conteúdos e manufactura trazidas pela revolução no open source, 3d printing e open hardware. Crítico, acutilante, embora algo desconexo.
