If you read this and want more like it, the author of the article (Gabriella Coleman) wrote an excellent ethnography on the culture around hackers and free software, which is also available through her site: http://gabriellacoleman.org/Coleman-Coding-Freedom.pdf

The timing might be a little confusing; my understanding is that the book was born out of her dissertation written before 2010, predating the article in the Atlantic, but this book was published after the Atlantic article came out (so it may be even more refined than the article, and certainly more in-depth).

It's longer (on the order of ~250 pages), but it's really great, and one of my favorite examples of Anthropology investigating and thinking about technology and the people that live and breathe it.
