Computing without Compromise: Love Letters to Open Source
This isn't a book about how to use Linux, it's not a book explaining what Linux is, it's not even an academic analysis of the socio-economic impact of Big Data management.
This is a book about being an open source and Linux geek. It's about what makes it fun and oh-so-supremely satisfying to be a computer nerd in the age of open source technology. It's meant to be a fun book; it's the conversation you'd have with your computer pals at a coffee shoppe, or at the local hobby shoppe. It's the rambling thoughts of someone who really likes to think about open source.
And Klaatu does think a lot about open source. A Linux consultant by day, he has worked with clients to help them implement and manage open source in their workflows, and with indie artists to help them discover exciting new, non-corporate options in their creative process. He records his incidental thoughts for podcasts such as Hacker Public Radio and GNU World Order.

It's a book about, more or less, why it's so fun to be a computer geek in the age of open source technology. It's actually a collection of random essays on various tech topics; sometimes sociological, sometimes technical, sometimes funny, sometimes historical.
It's a good book, but I am biased since I was heavily involved in its creation.
