I would really like to obtain a book on Plan 9's design and ethos. Do such things exist?
Anybody have a recommendation?
(Asking here on the basis that Plan 9 was once meant to be Unix's successor, AIUI)

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

cat-v has a Plan 9 doc archive that contains a number of papers, manual pages for various editions and other interesting miscellanea.

Introduction to Operating Systems abstractions using Plan9 from Bell Labs might be of your interest.

That book is very poorly edited. Not worth the read in my opinion – Gerardo Hernandez Jun 27 at 20:11
