Publisher's summary

Delete everything you think you know about tech pioneer John McAfee, whose antivirus software operates on millions of computers around the world.

Drawn from hours of conversations between Mark Eglinton and John McAfee in 2019, 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, 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 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.

The meaning behind the man

I continually ask myself what is the meaning of John’s story. Is it a warning, or is it an invitation? Or is it something more complicated? John embodied the essential American spirit: freedom. The irony, of course, is this is what ultimately led to his clash with the USG. But behind the facade of disinformation and playful characters he used to elude control was a deeply feeling man—one who knew what it was to love and to suffer. Despite the various accusations against John, of which I will never know the truth, still I know in my heart that he was good. I suspect John wouldn’t even agree with that ostensibly simplistic characterization, but I know it’s true. When I hear Hozier’s Francesca on the radio, I can’t help but think of John McAfee and smile.

Astounding true story of the untamed genius.

I listened during a long trip and hurried back from bathroom breaks to finish! This was the right author to portray John's story. All of my questions were answered about his life, except for who WHACKD him!? Since finishing the book I have gone on to research his crypto token, $WHACKD, he left as his legacy. This man was (is) a genius. I plan on listening to it again. There were so many twists and turns.

john would have been proud of this book

I worked with John to a limited degree as did many others during his presidential run. this book portrays him just as I remember him. authentic. I bought a hardcopy as well just to support your work. bravo.

Exceptional life, exceptionally told

McAfee was deeply flawed but endlessly fascinating. You really do get the feeling that the "master of disinformation" was finally letting his guard down and telling the real story...or as close to it as he was willing to get.

Even if it's all fake, he was a hell of a storyteller, and I alternated between fits of laughter, jaw-dropped awe, and outright disgust as he told about his wild and crazy life.

Highly recommended.

Incredible life Story

Very interesting book on an enigma and maybe in the end poses more questions than it answers. Well presented and gripping all the way through. Well worth the time.
