{"product_id":"maintenance-of-everything","title":"Maintenance of Everything","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eStewart Brand makes a persuasive case that maintenance—the unglamorous work of keeping what we own going—is among the most creative and consequential acts available to any of us. It is a book that reframes the ordinary chores of ownership as a discipline worth mastering, and the tools and objects in one's life as relationships worth tending.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first in a planned multi-volume work, Maintenance: Of Everything, Part One opens with the 1968 Golden Globe solo sailboat race as a study in maintenance under life-or-death conditions, then ranges through the world of fixers and obsessives—motorcycle maintainers, the rival philosophies that shaped the auto industry, the evolution of precision manufacturing, military sustainment, and the never-ending battle against corrosion. Brand's argument is that taking responsibility for the care of something, whether a motorcycle, a monument, or a planet, can be a radical act.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy Stewart Brand (creator of the Whole Earth Catalog), published January 2026 by Stripe Press. 308 pages, hardcover, illustrated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Best Made Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47636755284198,"sku":"UMED.1203.998.01","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/2985\/9558\/files\/MOA-PDP-LAYOUTS2.jpg?v=1778933850","url":"https:\/\/www.bestmadeco.com\/products\/maintenance-of-everything","provider":"Best Made Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
