Just learned the recent passing away of [George H. Smith](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_H._Smith) (1949 Japan - 2022 Bloomington, IL, U.S.).

He is the one who introduced me to American and English thought with his book _[Individualism: A Reader](https://www.libertarianism.org/books/individualism-reader)_.

Also learned that Smith was an atheist and wrote books on atheism.
