The Boy Who Could Change the World: The Writings of Aaron Swartz by Aaron Swartz

5.0

"What a great mind we have lost". That is the first thing it came to my mind when I finished the last paragraph of this compilation of Aaron's writings. Not only was an outstanding programmer (RSS, web.py, Reddit, etc), but a humble human being who dare to think different and go against the stream and construct an independent view on politics, media, culture, education, etc.

If you don't know who he was, this book is a pretty good way to get started on his views: what the independent internet counter culture is, and independent thinking is like.
