This Machine Kills Silence (Grand Theft Auto IV-Based Autobiography)

From the fractured heart of Liberty City's most infamous family comes the unfiltered autobiography of Gerald McReary - tech prodigy, former convicted felon, reluctant icon, Eurovision finalist, and the underground voice of a generation that talks in code and bleeds in pixels.

This Machine Kills Silence is not just a memoir. It's a manifesto in memoir's clothing. Through a nonlinear map of memory and metaphor, Gerald unspools the story of a life spent dancing between visibility and erasure - from Catholic-school beatdowns to midnight hackathons, from Microsoft boardrooms to prison cells, from love letters to ex-wife Alicia Keys to whispered conversations with his black cat Merlin.

In his signature blend of brutal honesty, poetic rage, and cracked humor, McReary confronts fame, failure, surveillance, beauty, addiction, AI ethics, exile, and the quiet violence of being misunderstood. He writes of systems that try to flatten people into products, and the radical act of speaking anyway.

This book is for the ghost-coded, the late-night overthinkers, the misfits who still believe in something real under all the noise.
