Ebook: Openism: Conversations on Open Hardware

Openism unravels the varying perspectives of key practitioners and theoreticians on the development of open hardware across the globe including Richard Stallman, Joshua Pearce, Andrew Huang, Katherine Scott, Madeline Gannon, Silvia Lindtner among others. In a series of conversations, the potential for, and the consequence of an openism approach is demonstrated through stories of 3D-printed stethoscopes in the Gaza Strip, hacked open Xboxes, trained robots, DIY gynecological equipment and complete science labs built out of open hardware.
