In The Hacker Ethic and the Spirit of the Information Age, Himanen contrasts the Protestant work ethic, which dominated the industrial age, with the hacker work ethic, which the book describes and which he contends is better suited to information age. This is a rather long index for a rather short book. One reason it is so long is that it includes entries for the book's preface, prologue, epilogue and endnotes. The preface was indexed because it contains the book's only definition of hacker and because it discusses topics not addressed elsewhere; the prologue because it was written by Linus Torvalds, who describes the development of the Linux operating system, which he directs; the epilogue because it was written by Manuel Castells, who provides information about network society that is not included in his three-volume book, The Information Age, and; the endnotes because they expand upon issues in the text and introduce many new ones. All endnotes are at the back of the book. A second reason it is so long is that Himanen briefly describes the significance of a surprisingly large number of individuals, organizations, projects and products. In the index, "n" in a locator signifies "endnote number." Endnote numbers appear in locators for pages referring to the endnote and in locators for pages containing the endnote. Locators referring to the endnote are enclosed in square brackets. For example: an heading may include a locator, [15n4] and another one, 213n4. The first, with brackets, indicates that page 15 contains a reference to endnote 4. The second, without brackets, indicates that endnote 4 begins on page 213. If the information being indexed appears only in an endnote, there is no corresponding locator with brackets. |
