Ai Weiwei was named a runner-up for TIME Person of the Year! Visit TIME for a Q&A with Ai Weiwei that touches on everything from his 81-day Beijing detention to details on how he used his blog as a platform for political activism--and to read Ai's posts, check out Ai Weiwei's Blog: Writings, Interviews, and Digital Rants, 2006-2009, culled from the blog that Chinese authorities shut down in 2009. Ai Weiwei's Blog offers a collection of Ai's online writings translated into English--the most complete, public documentation of the original Chinese blog available in any language.
