 Since Glider Ink has a politics of no token characters, I don't want to make anyone black / asian just for the sake of it - it would be far more interesting (and educational) to have an episode where a hacker from abroad visits Glider - and is surprised by the lack of other ethnicities. Since Glider Ink has a politics of no token characters, I don't want to make anyone black / asian just for the sake of it - it would be far more interesting (and educational) to have an episode where a hacker from abroad visits Glider - and is surprised by the lack of other ethnicities.

 +The second volume of this comic is going to tell stories from hackerspaces all over the world, including [Egypt](http://​makerexpress.org/​),​ [Iraq](https://​www.kickstarter.com/​projects/​bilal/​baghdad-community-hackerspace-workshops) [2](https://​www.fastcompany.com/​3030731/​why-collecting-data-in-conflict-zones-is-invaluable-and-nearly-impossible?​show_rev_content),​ [Kenya](http://​ihub.co.ke/​),​ [Sierra Leone](https://​www.youtube.com/​watch?​v=hZ29t_6TS8w),​ [Colombia](http://​makezine.com/​2016/​12/​14/​3d-printing-peace-aruba/​) and Singapore.

 +## Social inclusiveness
 +
 +Some Hackerspaces are focused mostly on students, others on top-level programmers playing with their expensive toys. Some makerspaces are located in favelas and help people produce necessities to survive, other employ loads of expensive 3D printers.

 +As with feminism, Glider Ink is trying to show a variety of approaches. [Amanda](characters:​main:​amanda) may lead workshops for everybody, showing useful life hacks, repairing bicycles. [Cynic](characters:​main:​c_n1c) and [sh0dan](characters:​secondary:​sh0dan) may play with their expensive toys. [Robert](characters:​main:​robert) is working hard to support a family, and [Adam](characters:​main:​adam) carelessly spends all his time helping NGOs, somehow always afloat. ​
