From the Publisher:Nearly a century ago, Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit ofCapitalism articulated the animating spirit of the industrial age, theProtestant ethic. Now, Pekka Himanen-together with Linus Torvalds and ManuelCastells-articulates how hackers* represent a new, opposing ethos for theinformation age. Underlying hackers' technical creations-such as theInternet and the personal computer, which have become symbols of ourtime-are the hacker values that produced them and that challenge us all.These values promote passionate and freely rhythmed work; the belief thatindividuals can create great things by joining forces in imaginative ways;and the need to maintain our existing ethical ideals, such as privacy andequality, in our new, increasingly technologized society. The Hacker Ethictakes us on a journey through fundamental questions about life in theinformation age-a trip of constant surprises, after which our time and ourlives can be seen from unexpected perspectives.*In the original meaning of the word, hackers are enthusiastic computerprogrammers who share their work with others; they are not computercriminals.
