This book examines how the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) movement demonstrates labor's capacity to self-organize production, challenging traditional capitalist structures. By analyzing the development of free operating systems like GNU/Linux, the author explores the potential of FOSS to compete with major corporations. The book also reflects on the aspirations of thinkers such as Friedrich Schiller, Karl Marx, Herbert Marcuse, and Antonio Negri in light of the hacker movement's achievements.
