I'll be honest and say that this is for a college assignment. I need to choose an essay from which I can then study to understand more fully and finally come up with my own idea. Honestly, I am a little tired of most of the essays in our anthology so I'd like to use something that fit my experiences more.
It's hard to describe, but I'm looking for essays of the hacker-spirit, it doesn't have to be related to computers or tech. It just needs to come from that mindset.
The more general it is the better, so I'd prefer something about the values of openness and Free to one about the openness of Linux or something like that. I know PG has a large collection, but some pointers would still be nice. Also, good essays that you think hackers tend to like in general are also welcome, even if they're not "hacker-esque".
My apologies if it looks like I'm making HN do my homework. Please look at it more as me trying to find literature that is more representive of me. I will use others as possible choices, so please don't think I'm trapping myself into writing about hackers.
