Very well thought out!

Trump Supporters: A Taxonomy by Justin Peters wrote a wonderful piece on Trump's disaster of a campaign and the type of followers that scurried off after him. Peter's has them categorized and explains each category! It is perfection!

Biography of the brilliant and tragically short life of an internet pioneer. The authors method of telling Aaron’s story by telling the stories of other people threw me at first, but I decided that I really liked it by the end. Recommended.

How free does information want to be?

The Idealist: Aaron Swartz and the Rise of Free Culture on the Internet by Justin Peters (Scribner, $28).

Despite his name appearing in the title, Aaron Swartz is only part of the story in Justin Peters’ The Idealist: Aaron Swartz and the Rise of Free Culture on the Internet.

Instead, the Slate writer offers up a very good thumbnail history of copyright and intellectual property and how the laws governing information developed; it’s only after he’s covered the rise of the digital information age that Peters weaves in the story of the young Internet activist who committed suicide in 2013 after being indicted for data theft.

But discussing Swartz’s life (a founder of Reddit, co-creator of RSS feeds, and one of the founders of Creative commons) in the context of copyright, digital “piracy” and the future of electronic information and technology makes complete sense, and it’s more than time to address the question of just how free information wants to be, anyway.
