Synopsis de l’éditeur
"...a remarkable perspective on the wider computing infrastructure that has found its way nearly everywhere over the past decades. The story of free software (what we might think of as an exotic other) shows how more familiar computing environments share in free software's dimensions of culture, and in the social, economic, political, and historical dimensions that are also covered in this book... the book will likely appeal to a broad audience, and it will be difficult to ignore in fields of study focused on media, science, and technology, and globalization and change, in any way involving the Internet." Jens Kjaerulff, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute "I know of no other book that mixes so beautifully a deep theoretical understanding of social theory with a rich historical and contemporary ethnography of the Free Software and free culture movements. Christopher M. Kelty's book speaks to many audiences; his message should be understood by many more."--Lawrence Lessig, Stanford Law School "Two Bits describes the way those who work and play with Free Software themselves change in the process--engendering what Kelty calls 'recursive publics'--social configurations that realize the Internet's non-hierarchical, ever-evolving, and thus historically attuned logic, creatively updating the types of public spheres previously theorized by Habermas and Michael Warner, among others. Two Bits does something similar, pulling readers into an experimental (ethnographic) mode that draws out how Open Source movements have garnered the momentum and significance they have today. The book--on paper and online--quite literally shows how it is done, itself embodying the standards that make Free Software work. Two Bits is critical reading, in all senses."--Kim Fortun, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute "Just occasionally, you come across a book that reflects part of your own life and experience in a way that makes you stop and say: "Yes, that is the way I remember it happening." This is one such book...The voice of the book captures the familiar uncertainties, complexities and challenges of the time particularly well... A closely argued, well-defended, painstakingly referenced treatise covering one of the most complex, and possibly least understood, cultural movements of recent decades...I had never expected to enjoy a book that delved so deeply into the writing of software licences ...but I did...Kelty succeeds in delivering a book that is academically sound, thoroughly researched and deeply engaging...a very significant book that succeeds in capturing the essence of a period of huge change...Kelty's solidly focused text offers an effective roadmap for the deeply convoluted raw material that defines this period - providing a detailed, and well crafted, reference for future investigators." John Gilbey, Times Higher Education, 21st August 2008 Lire la suite...
