Here’s a hierarchy of resilience hacking:

• Fixers. People that can repair existing equipment to maintain its previous function. (these people are the staple of almost all disaster fiction).

• Makers. People that repurpose existing technology through the implementation of alterations to change its function. A corollary to Makers are people that improve existing products/systems (make them more powerful/better/faster).

• Creators. People that create new tools or unique systems from scratch using raw materials (think fab lab hacks).
