[January 22, 2013: Cryptome has added more books from the archive, and a discussion of the issues related to how they got the archive. This is the link and it has the most comprehensive list of books that are available from this source on their site. See http://cryptome.org/aaron-swartz-series.htm]
Cryptome is an internet site that acts
as a reporitory of documents, usually government documents, that are
related to freedom of speech, cryptography, spying and surveillance. In the aftermath of the Aaron Swartz
suicide, they listed on their website approximately 40 different books in PDF form that were probably part
of the cache of documents that Swartz had taken from MIT.
But these books are actually a selection from the larger group of books that Swartz 'liberated' and that Cryptome has supposedly archived. For a complete list, see below:

The first thing I noticed was one of my favorite books, about the Mitochondria by Nick Lane is on this extended list.
A few favorites out of the 40 or so that are posted include:
