Award-winning essayist and novelist Andrew O'Hagan presents a trio of reports exploring the idea of identity on the Internet--true, false, and in between--where your virtual self takes on a life of its own outside of reality.

A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year - One of Publishers Weekly's Top 10 Book of Essays and Literary Criticism - One of Chicago Reader's Books We Can't Wait to Read in the Rest of 2017

The Secret Life issues three bulletins from the porous border between cyberspace and IRL.

"Ghosting" introduces us to the beguiling and divisive Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, whose autobiography O'Hagan agrees to ghostwrite with unforeseen--and unforgettable--consequences. "The Invention of Ronnie Pinn" finds him using the actual identity of a deceased young man to construct an entirely new one in cyberspace, leading him on a journey deep into the Web's darkest realms. And "The Satoshi Affair" chronicles the strange case of Craig Wright, the Australian Web developer who may or may not be the mysterious inventor of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto--and who may or may not be willing, or even able, to reveal the truth.

These fascinating pieces take us to the weirder fringes of life in a digital world while also casting light on our shared predicaments. What does it mean when your very sense of self becomes, to borrow a term from the tech world, "disrupted"? The Secret Life shows us that it might take a novelist, an inventor of selves, armed with the tools of a trenchant reporter, to find an answer.

You will read this book late into the night or savor it for the next Day. :)
Format: Hardcover
What an amazing writer! Such clear and concise unfolding of events entwined with Biblical signs and Prophecy. Incredibly well researched and a joy to read. This book is a joy to read and while I'm trying to savor it, I can tell I will be reading this all night and rereading again. I want to gift this to my sister because I'm so impressed but I also want it in my collection. I will probably buy this book again for this reason. Exceptionally easy to focus and surrender to what God wants to impart in this book. Thank you for your clarity and love with this book.

Revelation Bible Study
Format: Kindle
I have completed a one year bible study on Revelation in our church, then David Jeremiah came out with his book Signs. It is absolutely FABULOUS! He is such a great writer, he explains from scripture and interprets exactly what John the Apostle is seeing and puts it to print! This was a great back up to my bible study and a resource that I will use forever. Prophecy is so important and we all have questions about where we go when we die, what is happening to our world as we have known it. David Jeremiah answers all of this and more. I am not confused anymore! I now can talk about eternity to others who may wonder why they need to know the things in this book. Once you have read "Signs" you will want to tell everyone so they don't spend eternity in that dark, dark, fiery place. Everyone needs to recognize Jesus as King. If you miss out now there will be NO TURNING BACK! I'm not a fanatic but I would hate to see anyone spend eternity in that situation. God is a God of second chances. His love is real for everyone. You need to know why you need to accept Jesus as Savior now so you won't have to endure the things that are coming. And it could be here at any moment. David Jeremiah tells you why you need to be ready!

An absolutely important read.
Format: Paperback
I bought this book on a recommendation. I loved it. It is easy to read, explains itself well, and is very informative. It always gives scripture to back it up. I have read the Bible and continue to do so, but this book explains a lot of things and also refers to actual history to and current events. It was written in 1999, but proves itself to be very important in the year we live in today. I recommend this book to anyone who is a Christian, wants to be a Christian, or even people who don't know what they believe. The author of this book has made me a fan of his writings. If you decide to read this book, you won't regret it.

Important read but a little difficult to understand
Format: Hardcover
The beginning is a well written history on the background of what is happening in Revelations, how and why Revalations came about, and what will occur in the ends times. Lots of prophecy, (which I love to read about) but I am finding it difficult to understand. I am a fast reader, so maybe for someone else, who reads slowly and with intention, they may understand it better. I guess I was hoping for a little easier read and right to the point. This could be my problem and not the book! David Jeremiah is a wonderful pastor and his teachings are always relatable and easy to understand so as I write this, I think it's the reader's problem, not the writer :)
