In my opinion, neither does.

The Cathedral and the Bazaar (CATB) explains some of the workings of 
FOSS projects, but it's based entirely on Eric Raymond's highly 
opinionated point of view, and focuses only on software.

Free as in Freedom is a history book focused on Richard Stallman; it's a 
biography with the feel of an extended magazine article.

They both talk about a FOSS hacker culture that may have been more 
present in the 90's or a bit past that; the waters nowadays are larger, 
broader, far more complex, and don't hew to any one Grand Unified 
Theory. I would love to see more things out there acknowledge the 
shifting boundaries and multiple perspectives instead of trying to 
trumpet an oversimplified One Right Answer as the only thing that ought 
to be perpetuated.
