Summary:
"One of the most original minds of our time. Computer programmer, entrepreneur, writer, political organizer and Internet hacktivist,
Aaron
Swartz
was involved in the development of the web feed format RSS, the organization Creative Commons, and the social news site, Reddit. In his too-short life,
Aaron
Swartz
reshaped the Internet and questioned our assumptions about intellectual property. His tragic suicide in 2013 at the age of twenty-six after being aggressively prosecuted for copyright infringement shocked the
world
. In June 2013,
Swartz
was posthumously inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame. Besides being a technical genius and a passionate activist, he was an insightful, compelling, and cutting essayist. With a technical understanding of the Internet and of intellectual property law surpassing that of many seasoned professionals, he wrote thoughtfully and humorously about intellectual property, copyright, and the architecture of the Internet. He wrote as well about unexpected topics such as pop culture, politics both electoral and idealistic, dieting, and lifehacking. This collection includes three previously unpublished essays about education, governance, and cities"--Provided by publisher.
