Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Tim on January 02, 2022

McAfee has lived an insane life, nobody could argue that. But this book offers a view into the man's mind in a way that none of his interns clips or social media ever could. Maybe he was disarmed, but I can't hep feeling that he gave away way more about his feelings and ideology than he ever intende......more

Goodreads review by Stephen on February 11, 2022

When the talking heads begin rattling on about notable deaths of 2021, they will mention all manner of useless, uninteresting people — politicians, athletes, pop musicians. They will not mention John McAfee, who after months on the run from multiple states and various criminal organizations, was cap......more

John McAfee was off the rails in a way so few are. Reprehensible in many ways and sympathetic in others. And in his shadow is Silicon Valley and all the lies, hero stories, and moral repugnance around the dawn of the Information Age. Couldn’t put it down. The man in his own words.......more
