From the age of fifteen, when Swartz, a computer prodigy, worked with Lawrence Lessig to launch Creative Commons, to his years as a fighter for copyright reform and open information, to his work leading the protests against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), to his posthumous status as a cultural icon, Swartz’s life was inextricably connected to the free culture movement. The book gives an engaging, if knowingly incomplete, account of the history of intellectual property and copyright law, the archaic roots (and current implications) of cyberlaw, and some key players in the ongoing fight between open-data philosophy and the federal government. "Justin Peters is an immensely talented storyteller and The Idealist is an uncommonly good book—an ambitious, erudite, meticulously crafted work on a pivotal and tragic figure. "Justin Peters delivers not only an exceptionally crafted story about the life of Aaron Swartz but also a bold and important history of information policy in the Internet age. "Justin Peters masterfully narrates thestory of Aaron Swartz, who abdicated a life of privilege and convenience bychoosing the path of fiercely principled activism. A riveting read, The Idealist channels Swartz's inner demons, philosophical provocations, and political actions, all of which compel the reader to think about the world—and changing the world—in new ways."
