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.
