Delete everything you think you know about tech pioneer John McAfee, whose antivirus software operates on millions of computers around the world. Uninstall any impressions you have of the man depicted in the news, the man in disguise and on the run in Central America, even the man who reinvented himself as the Libertarian Partys candidate in the 2016 presidential election. Move these images to your brains trash file. The real John McAfee is far more complex.
Drawn from hours of conversations between Mark Eglinton and John McAfee in 2019while he was hiding in an undisclosed locationNo Domain: The John McAfee Tapes provides startling insight into the extraordinary life of one of Americas genuine renegades. McAfee shares his life story like its his last will and testament, providing revelatory details on the abusive father who shot himself when John was a young boy; the life-changing LSD overdose in St Louis, duringwhich he was nearly convinced by voices in his head to try to kill his first wife and daughter; the unexpected government clearance that led to him working on CIA dark programs; the combined affinity for mathematics and hallucinogens that informed the hedonistic nature of his software company in Silicon Valley; the attempt to find a quiet life in Belize only to become a pariah in the eyes of the local militia, from whom hed later flee, having been framed for the murder of his neighbor; and the subsequent years on the run in the US, evading a cast of pursuers, including the Sinaloa Cartel, while burying bags of money and valuables in marked locations around the Southwest, before fleeing the country on his yacht.
John McAfee has lived a life that defies description. This larger-than-life biography documents it all.
This is the only possible book that could have been written about John McAfee. An autobiography, while interesting, would reveal no real personal information and would likely be more grand half-fictions meant to entertain the room...With Eglinton respectfully pressing back and at times very skeptical on what is true or not true, he puts McAfee in the chair and under the spotlight. It is an easy read about an incredibly complex character, and one we might never see again in this world... -- Stephen L. Miller, Washington Examiner
