Download or read book Raw Thought, Raw Nerve: Inside the Mind of Aaron Swartz written by Aaron Swartz and published by . This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded a large number of academic journal articles through MIT's computer network. At the time, Aaron was a research fellow at Harvard University, which provided him with an authorized account. Aaron's motivation for downloading the articles was never fully determined. However, friends and colleagues reported that Aaron's intention was either to publicly share them on the Internet or uncover corruption in the funding of climate change research. Faced with prosecutors being overzealous and a dysfunctional US criminal justice system, Aaron was charged with a maximum penalty of $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison, leading to a two-year legal battle with the US federal government that ended when Aaron took his own life on January 11, 2013. Aaron taught himself to read when he was three. At twelve, he created a user-generated encyclopedia, which he later likened to an early version of Wikipedia. He then turned his computer genius to political organizing, information sharing and online freedom. Aaron was on to making a better world for us all; a freer world. Raw Thought, Raw Nerve: Inside the Mind of Aaron Swartz contains the life's work of one of the most original minds of our time. Notes on this second edition In October 2014, we published the first edition of this book (see book Page 7 for details). It was then the first and only book containing Aaron Swartz's lifetime work. When the first edition of "Raw Thought, Raw Nerve: Inside the Mind of Aaron Swartz" was released, we did not claim copyright. Our copyright statement was then the same as it is today: the content is copyrighted to Aaron Swartz. In an article titled "If I get hit by a truck", Aaron Swartz asked "that the contents of all my hard drives be made publicly available". On his blog, Aaron never mentioned anything against commercial publishing. He was, however, against abusive and restrictive copyrights. In August 2015, The New Press, claiming to have obtained exclusive copyright from Sean B. Palmer (Aaron's legal IP owner), and without notice took steps to shutdown our publication to release several months later a scaled down version of this present book. Much has been said and written about this unlawful and unethical action towards Aaron's wishes, but to this day (May 2016), neither The New Press, nor Sean B. Palmer has made any public comments. In publishing the first edition of this book, our humble goal was to express what was going on in Aaron's mind; i.e who was he? why did he repeatedly hacked into academic databases? what was he trying to tell us? The best way to achieve that was through the articles Aaron left on his website. Some of them dated back to 2002, when he was 16. Through a total of 1364 articles available on his website, Aaron clearly stroke us as sharp and openhearted. Aaron surely -like all of us- was trying to find his place in this world; but beyond that, he was genuinely on the path to making this world a better place in the smartest possible way, hence bringing solutions to some of today's problems, and not merely criticizing what other people do -which is very too often the case in politics. He reminded us of Steve Jobs. He could have been as brilliant as Jobs in his own field. Although we selected 300 out of 1364 articles, the resulting book was 824-page thick, divided into seven categories, i.e. Economics, Politics & Parody, Science & Stuff, Work & Tech, Education, Life, and a series of touching articles titled "Raw Nerve", as well as the beautiful piece written by Robert Swartz, titled "Loosing Aaron". According to Sean B. Palmer's latest statement in an Open Letter, Aaron would probably have wanted to release his work under Non-Commercial Creative Commons. In order to comply with Aaron's wishes, this book has been released as a not-for-profit publication.

Book Synopsis Obsessive, Intrusive, Magical Thinking by : Marianne Eloise
Download or read book Obsessive, Intrusive, Magical Thinking written by Marianne Eloise and published by Icon Books. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I FELT RECOGNISED ON EVERY PAGE, LEARNT SO MANY NEW THINGS, AND LAUGHED SO HARD I CHOKED ON MY WATER. READ THIS!!!' NAOISE DOLAN, AUTHOR OF EXCITING TIMES 'CANDID, WITTY ... A BRAVE BOOK THAT PUTS VULNERABILITY FULLY ON SHOW' INDEPENDENT Obsessive was, still is, my natural state, and I never wondered why. I didn't mind, didn't know that other people could feel at peace. I always felt like a raw nerve, but then, I thought that everyone did. Writer and journalist Marianne Eloise was born obsessive. What that means changes day to day, depending on what her brain latches onto: fixations with certain topics, intrusive violent thoughts, looping phrases. Some obsessions have lasted a lifetime, while others will be intense but only last a week or two. Obsessive, Intrusive, Magical Thinking is a culmination of a life spend obsessing, offering a glimpse into Marianne's brain, but also an insight into the lives of others like her. From death to Medusa, to Disneyland to fire, to LA to her dog, the essays explore the intersection of neurodivergence, fixation and disorder, telling the story of one life underpinned and ultimately made whole by obsession.
Book Synopsis This Close to Happy by : Daphne Merkin
Download or read book This Close to Happy written by Daphne Merkin and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Favorite Read of 2016 “Despair is always described as dull,” writes Daphne Merkin, “when the truth is that despair has a light all its own, a lunar glow, the color of mottled silver.” This Close to Happy—Merkin’s rare, vividly personal account of what it feels like to suffer from clinical depression—captures this strange light. Daphne Merkin has been hospitalized three times: first, in grade school, for childhood depression; years later, after her daughter was born, for severe postpartum depression; and later still, after her mother died, for obsessive suicidal thinking. Recounting this series of hospitalizations, as well as her visits to myriad therapists and psychopharmacologists, Merkin fearlessly offers what the child psychiatrist Harold Koplewicz calls “the inside view of navigating a chronic psychiatric illness to a realistic outcome.” The arc of Merkin’s affliction is lifelong, beginning in a childhood largely bereft of love and stretching into the present, where Merkin lives a high-functioning life and her depression is manageable, if not “cured.” “The opposite of depression,” she writes with characteristic insight, “is not a state of unimaginable happiness . . . but a state of relative all-right-ness.” In this dark yet vital memoir, Merkin describes not only the harrowing sorrow that she has known all her life, but also her early, redemptive love of reading and gradual emergence as a writer. Written with an acute understanding of the ways in which her condition has evolved as well as affected those around her, This Close to Happy is an utterly candid coming-to-terms with an illness that many share but few talk about, one that remains shrouded in stigma. In the words of the distinguished psychologist Carol Gilligan, “It brings a stunningly perceptive voice into the forefront of the conversation about depression, one that is both reassuring and revelatory.”

Download or read book Davidia's Seed written by Michael W. Smart and published by Michael Smart. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The explosive in place. The fuse set. One individual holds the key to defusing it, or detonating it. Following a calamitous space battle, a small damaged pod drifts amid the debris, a single individual aboard, clinging to the final moments of life. A ship, hidden behind a small orange and red hued moon while the battle raged, approaches the debris field, searching for items to salvage and discovers the pod. The serendipitous encounter of two strangers in space spawns an extraordinary journey and a shared destiny neither could have imagined, which will decide the fate of two worlds on the brink of war. A discerning and cautious General, aware of the devastation a war will wrought, seeks to avoid it. A ruling Governor, imprisoned by culture and tradition, is determined to pursue it. And a clandestine operative races against time in search of the key to prevent it.

Book excerpt: How does coding change the way we think about architecture? This question opens up an important research perspective. In this book, Miro Roman and his AI Alice_ch3n81 develop a playful scenario in which they propose coding as the new literacy of information. They convey knowledge in the form of a project model that links the fields of architecture and information through two interwoven narrative strands in an “infinite flow” of real books. Focusing on the intersection of information technology and architectural formulation, the authors create an evolving intellectual reflection on digital architecture and computer science.

Download or read book The Idealist written by Justin Peters and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This smart, “riveting” (Los Angeles Times) history of the Internet free culture movement and its larger effects on society—and the life and shocking suicide of Aaron Swartz, a founding developer of Reddit and Creative Commons—written by Slate correspondent Justin Peters “captures Swartz flawlessly” (The New York Times Book Review). Aaron Swartz was a zealous young advocate for the free exchange of information and creative content online. He committed suicide in 2013 after being indicted by the government for illegally downloading millions of academic articles from a nonprofit online database. 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. Now Justin Peters examines Swartz’s life in the context of 200 years of struggle over the control of information. In vivid, accessible prose, The Idealist situates Swartz in the context of other “data moralists” past and present, from lexicographer Noah Webster to ebook pioneer Michael Hart to NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. In the process, the book explores the history of copyright statutes and the public domain; examines archivists’ ongoing quest to build the “library of the future”; and charts the rise of open access, the copyleft movement, and other ideologies that have come to challenge protectionist intellectual property policies. Peters also breaks down the government’s case against Swartz and explains how we reached the point where federally funded academic research came to be considered private property, and downloading that material in bulk came to be considered a federal crime. The Idealist is “an excellent survey of the intellectual property battlefield, and a sobering memorial to its most tragic victim” (The Boston Globe) and an essential look at the impact of the free culture movement on our daily lives and on generations to come.

Book Synopsis Say It Again In A Nice Voice by : Meg Mason
Download or read book Say It Again In A Nice Voice written by Meg Mason and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Mothers. Those women with purses the size of meat trays that hold an entire deck of school portrait photos and a chequebook, make a casserole without a recipe, make the tightest bed you'll ever sleep in and only swear under extreme duress. How, how, would I go from me to that?” At twenty-four, Meg Mason was newly married to a man “essentially indistinguishable from a young Matt Damon” after landing her dream job writing for The Times in London. Nothing, she told herself, could possibly go wrong. A holiday shortage of birth control and eight months later, she was heavily pregnant and sobbing on the side of a road over trading her career for something she knew zip about. But she soldiered on. One fine Sunday, she invented motherhood by Having a Baby. On Monday, she discovered that a bunch of women had already done that, but still they couldn't tell her how to do it. Thanks to a helpful neighbour, she learned that convincing a newborn to take a bottle by letting it lick a Dorito first to “get more thirsty” didn't always work, but not what to do when your child won't sleep for roughly two years, why making friends at the park is more difficult than meeting deadlines, or how to remove your hand from a stroller—after you've Super-Glued it to the handle. Hair-raising and hilarious, Say It Again in a Nice Voice is the story of Meg’s journey from parenting novice to . . . well . . . Meg With Kids. Along the way she discovers that being a mother, however disaster-prone, might just be the only thing that she is truly irreplaceable at.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Action, tick. Adventure, tick. Romance, tick. Triumph, tick. Tragedy, tick. All those one-night stands, the seemingly endless days on the road were about to pay off. Fame and fortune was tantalizingly within reach. Everything fortune-teller Gypsy Rose predicted thus far had come true. Would her final predictions play out just as she’d said? And if they did, what would that mean for Jordie and Jess? There was no doubt the band Constellation J was on the cusp of something amazing. But would all they’d achieved thus far be blown away? Jess has gone off the rails somewhat, she’d let an abundance of mind-altering substances get the better of her. And Jordie wasn’t sure this was the life he wanted. All he really wanted was Jess. Marty had found his soul mate, but would he and Jan live happily ever after? And what would become of Josh? He’d always been Marty’s shadow, but now with Jan on the scene, he had to find his own way. Robbie, on the other hand, did have it basically together, his dream job awaited, but the girl of his dreams … that was another story. Life for The Fearless Five as 18/19 year olds certainly had its share of ups, but there were plenty of downs for them to negotiate along the way also.
Book Synopsis The Rock Star's Homecoming by : Linda Gould
Download or read book The Rock Star's Homecoming written by Linda Gould and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-12-11 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nestled in the Appalachian foothills, Glendary College is the epitome of a small-town college. Calm and studious on the surface, the mixture of jocks, religious fanatics, and hippies creates a powder keg just waiting to explode. The igniting spark comes in the form of the Sunburst, a homegrown rock-and-roll band whose members go out of their way to break campus rules. Finally, at a late-night concert, they go too far, and the band members are expelled. It's been two years since the band's departure, and the Sunburst has made it big in New York City. Due to Sunburst's phenomenal success, the college students rally to hear them play again. Soon a groundswell builds to woo the musicians back to campus to perform at Glendary's homecoming dance. Imogene plans to write her senior honors thesis on the Sunburst as a social phenomenon. Sara, the bandleader's sister, struggles to keep the musicians together while recovering from a broken affair-with one of the band members. And their roommate Emily, a drama major who is secretly dating her married faculty advisor, is determined to reveal all in a video chronicling the homecoming weekend. But this isn't any average homecoming. This is a rock star's homecoming-and the college is about to ignite once again.
