About this product
Product Information
The famous inventor Zangemann lives in a huge villa high above the city. Adults and children alike love his inventions and are desperate to have them. But then something happens: when Zangemann wants to take another close-up look at his inventions during a walk through the city, a child hits him in the shin with the skateboard. That hurts! Enraged, the inventor makes a momentous decision... The clever girl Ada sees through what is going on. Together with her friends, she forges a plan. This illustrated children's book tells the story of the famous inventor Zangemann and the girl Ada, a curious tinkerer. Ada begins to experiment with hardware and software, and in the process realises how crucial it is for her and others to control technology. Ada & Zangemann will inspire children's interest in tinkering and encourage shaping technology.

Reviews
"A rousing tale of self-reliance, community, and standing up to bullies." --Cory Doctorow, Sci-Fi Author "Introduces readers young and old to the power and peril of software. Behind it all is a backdrop of ethics of knowledge sharing upon which the arc of human history rides." --Vint Cerf, Computer Scientist and One of the Inventors of the Internet "Such a fun children's book about getting hands on with tech and the importance of an open ecosystem for development. . . I love the illustration too" --@Una, UI & Tooling Developer Relations Team Lead at Google Chrome "A wonderful way to introduce young people everywhere to the joys of tinkering!" --Zoë Kooyman, Executive Director, Free Software Foundation "I hope this will influence young people, and especially those who feel 'I can not do that' to take that first step into the community of Open Source software, hardware and culture." --Jon "maddog" Hall, Board Chair, Linux Professional Institute "A cute story which resonates with kids and adults alike. The freedom to use *your* hardware and software as you see fit is a core ingredient in any technological society." --Andrew Lewman, Freedom and Privacy Advocate, Chairman of Each One Teach One " Ada & Zangemann brings a highly topical, technically relevant subject to children." --Catharina Maracke, Chair of the Board, Open Source Initiative "It's a hit -- in the first week my kid has read this book 3 or 4 times already, and says this book explains my work on software freedom finally in a way that's easily understandable." --Karen Sandler, Executive Director, Software Freedom Conservancy "I . . . appreciated how [ Ada & Zangemann ] took a traditional children's morality tale format and modernized it with practical hardware/software ethics in a relatable way, but not in a way that made you feel preached to or talked down to. Would recommend!" --Kyle Rankin, Author and President of Purism " 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. . . . it may well be an eye-opener for adults, too." --Dr. Constanze Kurz, Spokesperson, Chaos Computer Club (CCC) "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 "Inspiring and empowering. An exceedingly relevant techno-fable for the makers, creators and inventors who will grow up to shape our future." --Lee Hollman, Elementary School Technology Teacher "A book that helps kids understand that the world doesn't just happen, it is made, and that growing up is about figuring out how to pitch in and make it better." --Matt Bailey, Civic Hacker and Open Government Advocate, "A rousing tale of self-reliance, community, and standing up to bullies...software freedom is human freedom!" --Cory Doctorow, Sci-Fi Author "Introduces readers young and old to the power and peril of software. Behind it all is a backdrop of ethics of knowledge sharing upon which the arc of human history rides." --Vint Cerf, Computer Scientist and One of the Inventors of the Internet "In this hopeful story Ada and her friends join a movement that started back in 1983. Their courageous adventure of software freedom and learning how technology works is a wonderful way to introduce young people everywhere to the joys of tinkering!" --Zoë Kooyman, Executive Director, Free Software Foundation "A cute story which resonates with kids and adults alike. The freedom to use *your* hardware and software as you see fit is a core ingredient in any technological society." --Andrew Lewman, Freedom and Privacy Advocate, Chairman of Each One Teach One " Ada & Zangemann brings a highly topical, technically relevant subject to children." --Catharina Maracke, Chair of the Board, Open Source Initiative "This is a clever fable that shows the importance of software freedom in relatable terms. It's great for children of all ages." --Heather Meeker, Open Source Enthusiast, "A rousing tale of self-reliance, community, and standing up to bullies...software freedom is human freedom!" --Cory Doctorow, Sci-Fi Author "Introduces readers young and old to the power and peril of software.

It's great for children of all ages." --Heather Meeker, Open Source Enthusiast "Software freedom is a critical component to having technology that we can rely on as a society, and it never is too early to learn about why it is so important. I can't wait to read this book to my kids!" --Karen Sandler, Executive Director, Software Freedom Conservancy " Ada and 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.
