TY - GEN T1 - The boy who could change the world : the writings of Aaron Swartz A1 - Swartz, Aaron, 1986-2013 LA - English PP - New York PB - The New Press YR - 2015 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_dda_ocn907951573 AB - "In his too-short life, Aaron Swartz reshaped the Internet, questioned our assumptions about intellectual property, and touched all of us in ways that we may not even realize. 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 Including three in-depth and previously unpublished essays about education, governance, and cities, The Boy Who Could Change the World contains the life's work of one of the most original minds of our time"-- CN - HM851 .S97 2015eb SN - 9781620970768 SN - 1620970767 SN - 9781620970669 SN - 162097066X SN - 1784784966 KW - Swartz, Aaron, : 1986-2013 : Political and social views.
