This book provides a synoptic perspective on the relationships between free software and freedom. The book focuses on five main themes:
- emancipatory potential of technology
- social liberties
- the facilitation of creativity
- the objectivity of computing as a scientific practice
- the role of software in a cyborg world
and asks: are the freedoms of free software, and how are they manifested? Free software continues to be hyped. This book demonstrates that the hype is well-founded and yet too narrowly focused: free software promises to transform not only technology but society as well.
