Gabe's review of The Hacker Ethic: and the Spirit of the Information Age
The Hacker Ethic: and the Spirit of the Information Age by Pekka Himanen
An outstanding philosophical discussion on work, play, and living. This book closely aligns with the other two books in my list, "Maverick" and "The Seven Day Weekend". The author makes and outstanding argument that the typical idea that pervades Western thought when it comes to working, The Protestant Work Ethic (which he explains is not a religious concept), is no longer valid. He introduces the Hacker Ethic, a way to enjoy doing what you do to make a living. The book is highly intriguing and thought provoking and often requires a second read.
I highly recommed it (even three or four times)
