A kid genius ... Aaron was not just, or even primarily, a computer geek. His defining feature was a constant struggle for what he believed was right. - Lawrence Lessig Aaron had an unbeatable combination of political insight, technical skill, and intelligence about people and issues. I think he could have revolutionized American (and worldwide) politics. His legacy may still yet do so. - Cory Doctorow I always found it genuinely inspiring to watch Swartz exude courage and commitment at such a young age. - Glenn Greenwald This volume makes clear what those of us who knew Aaron already grasped: when we lost Aaron, we lost one of the most exciting minds of our time. - Chris Hayes We've lost a fighter. We've lost somebody who put huge energy into righting wrongs. - Sir Tim Berners-Lee

Clear, well read and sourced - Financial Times
