The Secret Life by Andrew O'Hagan

Three True Stories

A nonfiction triptych about the digital age, it follows a writer’s entanglements with a radical transparency activist while serving as his ghostwriter, his inside view of a businessman’s controversial claim to be Bitcoin’s creator, and his experiment building a false identity from a deceased person to explore the dark web. Blending investigation and memoir, it examines charisma, secrecy, online anonymity, and the blurred boundaries between truth, performance, and power in networked life.
