Summary
After parting ways with the eponymous McAfee Antivirus software company in 1994, John McAfee embarked on innumerable business, political, and criminal enterprises. From investing in cybersecurity and cryptocurrency to accusations of murdering his neighbor in Belize to making two unsuccessful bids for President of the United States—the latter attempt done in exile following a federal indictment—this larger-than-life man nurtured a rakish public profile while evading law enforcement for his involvement with drugs, weapons, and murder. For six months, Alex Cody Foster—hired as McAfee’s ghostwriter—traveled with McAfee across America and Europe, occasionally going on the run to evade purported killers and kidnappers. Foster tells the incomparable tale of how the two of them met, where their adventures took them, and what precipitated McAfee’s death.

Gripping
Only 2 hours in but the narrator has me hooked such a great performance, it’s like I’m watching a movie.
Not even up to the reason I got the book but it’s so well written I had to leave a review

Audacious but strangely fantastic
The audacity of the author telling his own story for the first half of the book (I’m writing half way through and we still haven’t got to McAfee) is so brilliant. I listen to this on long walks through the woods every morning and I get home hardly remembering the walk. I’m so immersed in his adventures across LA and Las Vegas that I’m lost into the book, into his words and into his mind. I hope Alex reads the reviews because I predict there will be many, many great ones. The narrator helps obviously because he’s absolutely nailed it. I came here for McAfee but left more impressed with Foster. Cheers Alex.
