Just started reading this book this week - and oh boy (pun intended) it is relatable AF.

Really unfortunate that we lost him at so early an age. He really could have changed the world for better.

The recent BtB episode about him hit me so hard. I feel like I relate a lot to Swartz because I really value knowledge. The episode ultimately made me feel hopeful but with a deep underpinning of sadness. The point Margret and Robert made about his death being a turning point really stood out to me.
