From the Publisher
‘Essential’
“I am really pleased with Ada & Zangemann. It is very important for the world to understand that ‘the right to tinker’ and ‘the right to repair’ are essential to the development of future generations. . . . I want future scientists and engineers to be able to build stuff and modify the software, with friends, in the way that I did.”
—Gerald Jay Sussman, Panasonic Professor of Electrical Engineering, MIT
‘Impassioned’
“Ada & Zangemann proves that the argument for software and hardware freedom is simple: We should be able to do what we want with our stuff. . . . Electronics freedom means more learning and less waste, as Ada shows. Kids and adults alike will be entertained by this book, charmed by its illustrations, and inspired by Ada’s engineering spirit and impassioned activism.”
—Elizabeth Chamberlain, Director of Sustainability, iFixit
‘An eye-opener’
“Ada & Zangemann is not only a utopian and charming story about Free Software and computers, but it is one about self-empowerment and also about joy in technology. While the wonderful book is aimed at children and young people, it may well be an eye-opener for adults, too.”
—Dr. Constanze Kurz, Spokesperson, Chaos Computer Club (CCC)
