Frank Ahearn transforms decades of privacy expertise into a compact guide for disappearing in our connected world. The global privacy consultant behind the New York Times bestseller on digital erasure delivers practical methods for vanishing completely. Ahearn walks readers through identifying digital mistakes, building disappear plans with untraceable phones and computers, and using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. He covers setting up destination cities through offshore accounts, creating disinformation for both digital and physical identities, and conducting counter-surveillance on departure day. The book examines three paths to new identities and their risks, explains why faking death fails, and teaches the discipline required to live as a disappeared person. This pocket manual offers concrete tools for protecting digital information or vanishing forever.
