How to Disappear and Start a New Life,  How to Get a Completely New Identity,  How to Delete yourself From the Internet

                                            

My name is Raymond Phillips; I graduated in 1996 with a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice.  After graduating, I went to work for a private security firm as an analyst and during my time there I was assigned to a big corporate client who was involved in some illegal activities and unfortunately I was exposed to their actual act of crime. Afterward, I found myself running for my own safety and had to disappear seven years ago. Just two years ago the issues were finally resolved as they got exposed by the law enforcement and that business entity no longer exists and I was able to reappear.


I sacrificed five most valuable years of my life running from them.  In those five long years I used many innovative methods to keep myself from everyone and was able to stay alive, and since I got back, I started a new business as a top notch privacy expert, I now work as a consultant for a few large multinational businesses.


I started writing this book while I was away to help people that find themselves in similar situations for whatever reasons, but after writing a few chapters, I realized it would be impossible for me to publish it as I would leave enough paper trail which can jeopardize my own safety again. So I put the project on the back burner and forgot about it.

Recently I was looking through some of the old files that I kept on a flash drive and found the file containing those chapters and decided to complete the book as I knew in my heart that this book could help some truly good and honest people to stay safe. But when reading through the files I realized how much have changed in last few years, so I deiced to rewrite the whole thing.

This book is essentially two books combined into one complete guide. Originally my plan was to write the first book just on how to disappear from society while erasing all the trails and the second one all about how to start a new life, but then I decided since they go hand in hand why not combine them both so you can have one handy guidebook if you ever need to get away like I had to.

Here is a preview of what you will learn:


Reasons people disappear How to disappear with children 3 Most Important parts of disappearing Short term Vs. Long term disappearance The importance of Disappearance Steps to take for long-term disappearance Steps to take for short time disappearance 5 Ways to disappear for the short term 21 Top disappearing destinations in the world How to Throw out the 'Old you.' How to prepare yourself Essential items you need to pack How not to leave any trace behind How to cover your tracks Steps to take to start a new life How to protect your physical privacy and safety How to get a new identity legally 5 Ways to use your new identity 3 types of Ghosters How to find jobs in your new life How to find food while

This was an interesting (very) short book on how to protect datas, files and more generally speaking information about yourself that you don't wish to make available to other people.

As a matter of fact the book is much more about effectively disappearing from the Internet (although I'm not quite sure this is really possible, even with the info provided by the book) or on how to simply surf the Net while remaining anonymous.

Even thought I'm not interested in disappearing from the Internet (and don't know anybody who wants to), this book might be useful to some.

Do keep in mind that, because of its short length, this book points out some useful info and resources to use, but it doesn't explain step by step how to use them.

There were a few things that were basically common sense, if you have any knowledge of the internet and mobile technology. However, the book was repetitive and really didn't go to the level of detail which would really be required if someone truly wanted to disappear.

Extremely brief with little actionable content. Good if you want to provide awareness introduction material

Very basic information

Honestly most of this information is easily found on the net. Still, found some. Good apps. Price reflects the value.

Not really a book; just a collection of tips and basic instructions on removing yourself from the internet circa 2013. Probably pulled together as part of someone's side hustle (make millions selling ebooks on Amazon!). Not worth your time.
