Free as in Freedom, a story about Stallman. I liked the unusual story of rms driving a car and freaking out as he had to follow someone taking the "scenic route". My least favorite was The Google Story - I couldn't stomach more than a chapter or two of it. It read like the sort of ass-kissing "He's a hero" crap that I encounter from living in an oil dictatorship.
