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.

A compelling look at a complicated man

I believe the way Eglington wrote this book was the only way an honest account of John McAfee’s life could have ever been written.

His approach to interviewing John was respectful but with no small amount of skepticism and finesse. This meant that he could skilfully extract information that others may not have been able to.

He didn’t prejudge John, nor was he drawn in completely. McAfee was a complex character, and to fully understand him and the nature of his life, he needed a masterful interviewer. In Eglington, he found that.

You get the sense that through their conversations, he developed a keen understanding of John and his nature. He seemed to especially respect and admire John’s need for freedom at any cost.

It seems that some aspects of McAfee’s life were left unsaid in this book; but then how many volumes would need to be written to get a full account of anyone’s life? Especially a life as complicated as McAfee’s.

In total, Eglington did a great job in conducting his conversations with McAfee, as well as putting it all together in a linear, well-constructed format.

It’s just a sadness that the book ended as it did. He should have been able to retire peacefully as he apparently intended, but as he said, the chaos seemed to always follow him.

John

I’m still scratching my head a bit. Never heard of this guy and I’m still puzzled where all the money came from. Houses,women,jewelry watches etc. And sounded like a whack job
