His tragic suicide in 2013 at the age of twenty-six after being aggressively prosecuted for copyright infringement shocked the nation and the world. Here for the first time in print is revealed the quintessential Aaron Swartz: besides being a technical genius and a passionate activist, he was also 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. Including three in-depth and previously unpublished essays about education, governance, and cities,The Boy Who Could Change the World contains the life's work of one of the most original minds of our time"-- 600 10 Swartz, Aaron, |d1986-2013 |xPolitical and social views. 650 0 Internet |xSocial aspects. 650 0 Internet |xPolitical aspects. 650 0 Intellectual property. 650 0 Copyright. 650 0 Computers |xSocial aspects. 650 0 Computer architecture. 650 0 Political culture |zUnited States. 650 0 Popular culture |zUnited States. 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6302_230000000000000_1_SWA |70 |8REF |981187OSA |bOSA |d2016-11-18 |eOSA |l0 |o302.23/1 SWA |r2016-11-18 |w2016-11-18 |yBK |cReference 920 01 Wok8NdXr 992 01 302_230000000000000_1_SWA |bWZX_XWZZZZZZZZZZZZZ_Y_73P 966 |cIn the Research Room
