The recently published 'Open Life: The Philosophy of Open Source' introduces readers to many entertaining and thought-provoking ideas, such as “Are all nerds courageous? Is laziness a virtue? Why did Stephen King leave a horror story unfinished?”. The author answers some and leaves others open for reflection after our journey into the Open Life.
The Philosophy of Open Source is currently a highly discussed and not yet understood concept in the computer and IT worlds. However, the philosophy is impacting many both inside and outside the technological realm. Almost everyone has been exposed to it and has been impacted by it. This book defines terms, clarifies ideas and introduces leaders within the Open Source Movement. A portion of the book is devoted to explaining how Open Source is being applied in non-technical areas.
According to author Henrik Ingo, "There is currently a strong trend of Open Source methods being applied in all kinds of fields, and I wanted to write in a style understandable to everyone, yet interesting enough also to people who already know a lot about Open Source would like to read it too".
In keeping with Free Software and Internet trends, the book is available to read or download online for free or can be purchased in real paper-print format. Donations can be made to the author who shares part of that donation with others. Either way, 'Open Life: The Philosophy of Open Source' is sure to entertain and enlighten.
