An exhilarating and uncensored account of the maverick tech titan's
wild life, a breakneck journey from Silicon Valley to his sudden,
mysterious death in a Barcelona prison.
"This is the only possible book that could have been written about
John McAfee." --Stephen L. Miller, Washington Examiner
"John McAfee is an American original--bold, brilliant, unpredictable.
Characters like him came from a different era--not the woke, soy boy,
non-confrontational culture of modern high tech. You meet McAfee head on
in No Domain--in his raw energy and spit-in-your-eye cussedness. Buy
this book, read this book, and understand--could anything, even John
McAfee, kill John McAfee?" --Stephen K. Bannon, White House Chief
Strategist, Host: War Room
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 Party's candidate in the
2016 presidential election. Move these images to your brain's trash
file. The real John McAfee is far more complex.
Drawn from hours of conversations between Mark Eglinton and John McAfee
in 2019--while he was hiding in an undisclosed location--No Domain: The
John McAfee Tapes provides startling insight into the extraordinary
life of one of America's genuine renegades. McAfee shares his life story
like it's 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, during which 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 he'd
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.
