Such a great write up I'm a huge fan of the Cypherpunks mailing list and had no idea he started it. Super interesting all the amazing people he was friends with. On his wiki, it mentions he was a big influence on Aaron Swartz.
In 1996, Barlow was invited to speak about his work in cyberspace to a middle school classroom at North Shore Country Day School. This event was highly influential upon the life of then-student Aaron Swartz: Swartz's father Robert recalls Aaron coming home that day a changed person.
