O'Hagan was hired to ghost-write Assange's autobiography and wound up spending some months in his inner circle, and his account is very detailed and balanced.
- justtopost 8y agoHe literally just called him an autist and writes him off. Its frankly depressig no matter the truth.
- fenomas 8y agoThat sentence is just the author giving his impression of Assange before meeting him and spending years with him. The full article doesn't write off Assange at all, if anything it's quite sympathetic to him.
