Aaron Swartz is dead, apparently by suicide.
To the extent that it is possible for someone half your age to be a hero to you, Aaron was one to me.
Read Doctorow and Lessig for personal notes, and the NYT for the straight news report.
Hope someone is busy archiving his site.
[Added] Also, this (via, via).
[Added2] Glenzilla also considers him a hero.
[Added3] Rick Perlstein has a very good piece up. (h/t: Noam Cohen)
