Most of it's available free online (though I'd suggest buying the book): http://catb.org/~esr/writings/homesteading/ Another great read is Richard Stallman's "Free Software, Free Society": http://shop.fsf.org/product/free-software-free-society/ Also available free: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/fsfs/rms-essays.pdf The reason I bring up the Stallman essays is that ESR and RMS have differing viewpoints on things. ESR is in the "open source" camp, whereas RMS is firmly in the "free software" camp, so reading both will give you a good background on the philosophies behind the two sides.
