Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Henry (John Green video), published by Stephen Clare on August 16, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum.

Author John Green talks about a 16-year-old tuberculosis patient in Sierra Leone.
