Excerpt: Given the technology that’s already available, we should have cars that drive us around, in absolute safety, while we lounge in the back and sip champagne. This book explains how we can build better software and all get our own high-tech chauffeur.
NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW:
“Keith Curtis, an 11-year veteran of Microsoft, believes deeply that open source is the future of software.
He takes a programmer’s approach in “Software Wars,” attempting to systematically build a case that software can help pave the way for a 21st-century renaissance in many fields ranging from artificial intelligence (cars that drive themselves) to the human journey into space (space elevators). For Mr. Curtis, open source software is all about leveraging our collective intelligence.”
