Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz about? Toggle content

Aaron Swartz was a programming prodigy and information activist who made a significant impact on the development of the internet. From his work on RSS feeds to his co-founding of Reddit, his fingerprints are all over the web. But it was his passion for social justice and political organizing, combined with his uncompromising approach to information access, that led to his downfall. At the age of 26, Swartz took his own life after a two-year legal battle that ended with his indictment on federal charges. His story is a cautionary tale about what we lose when we are tone deaf to technology and its relationship to our civil liberties.
