    I don't know if anyone has posted anything about this man yet. If not, I'll give a little background so people know what this is about.

    Basically, Mitchell Heisman committed suicide in Harvard University last year. However, he left behind him a full online book containing arguments relating to religion, nihilism and history. The book is entitled 'Suicide Note' and he emailed the document to 400 people before committing suicide. The book has since been released onto the internet for everyone to read. It's being called the most significant work of philosophy in the 21st century.

    Has anyone read it? What's it like? I've only heard about it and the background of the author, and I've heard it's excellent.

    Just found out about this today. Unfortunately I have too much college work to start reading it. You can download it here: http://www.suicidenote.info/

    From the introduction the importance or uniqueness of the work is not apparent. The fact that he thinks it's highly unique and important is more than apparent however. Having said that, I don't know anything.
