Book synopsis

What do the most important innovators of our time have in common? They're all hackers.In this landmark book, Pekka Himanen examines the ways in which hackers -- and their open-source business philosophy -- are changing the way we work.Without hackers there would be no universal access to e-mail, no Internet, no World Wide Web. The freedom that comes with a fluid work environment has fostered this innovation, but this spirit is not limited to hackers. The hacker ethic is a mind-set, a philosophy based on the values of play, passion, sharing, and creativity. You may be a hacker and not even know it. Either way, The Hacker Ethic will call into question all your underlying assumptions -- about stress, time management, work, and play -- and offer an alternative work ethic that promises to revolutionize the way you do business.
