About this listen

Andrew O'Hagan issues three bulletins from the porous border between cyberspace and the 'real world.'

'Ghosting' introduces us to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, whose autobiography the author ghostwrites with unforeseen consequences.

'The Invention of Ronnie Pinn' finds the author using the identity of a deceased man to construct an entirely new one in cyberspace.

Finally, '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.

O’Hagan never disappoints

A collection of three essays all of them full of interest and intrigue. Beautifully written and narrated. I remember reading the Lives of Ronald Pinn years ago in the LRB and it translates beautifully into a narrated story. Highly recommended.
