John McAfee was an eccentric computer programmer, famous for inventing anti-virus software as well as embracing a libertarian lifestyle of guns, drugs and a deep dislike of authority. Suspected of murdering his neighbor in Belize, he was finally arrested in Spain on US tax evasion charges in 2020, and committed suicide in prison last year, aged 75.In his final years, I was the last author to speak to him, in the hopes that we could collaborate on his autobiography. Instead, we parted ways in 2020, leaving me with transcripts that could be summed up as his last will and testament. I have compiled them together in my new book, “No Domain: The John McAfee Tapes,” (Post Hill Press), out now.One of the most consistent threads running through McAfee’s life was his love of women. This, after all, was a man who’d been married at least four times and had multiple girlfriends everywhere he went. He once boasted that he had fathered in the region of 47 children. On my second call with him, I asked him how it all began, growing up in Salem, Va.
