Reviews and Comments
I'm Kevin, 26 years old, autistic, gay, and currently studying computer science. I'm convinced of the value of human solidarity in the face of crises and difficulty, and would describe my political convictions as anarchist. I like reading fantasy and young-adult fiction with unconvential characters, as well as more classic works of literature that can teach me something about philosophy and human nature. I'm also interested in political philosophy more generally and in embedded systems programming.
