Synopsis
Part memoir, part explosive window into the mind of a catfisher, a thrilling personal account of three women coming face-to-face with an internet predator and teaming up to expose them. In 2011, three successful and highly educated women fell head over heels for the brilliant and charming Ethan Schuman. Unbeknownst to the others, each exchanged countless messages with Ethan, staying up late into the evenings to deepen their connections with this fascinating man. His detailed excuses about broken webcams and complicated international calling plans seemed believable, as did last minute trip cancellations. After all, why would he lie? Ethan wasn't after money -- he never convinced his marks to shell out thousands of dollars for some imagined crisis. Rather, he ensnared these women in a web of intense emotional intimacy. After the trio independently began to question inconsistencies in their new flame's stories, they managed to find one another and uncover a greater deception than they could've ever imagined. As Anna Akbari and the women untangled their catfish's web, they found other victims and realized that without a proper crime, there was no legal reason for "Ethan" to ever stop. There Is No Ethan catalogues Akbari's experience as both victim and observer. By looking at the bigger picture of where these stories unfold -- a world where technology mediates our relationships; where words and images are easily manipulated; and where truth, reality, and identity have become slippery terms -- Akbari gives a page-turning and riveting examination of why stories like Ethan's matter for us all.

    I wish I could leave more than 5 stars! My book was shipped the same day I ordered it and received just a few days later. Seller communication was fantastic. The book was incredibly well-packaged (seriously the best packing I've ever seen for a book). Seller is one of eBay's best and I look forward to buying from them again. Legendary - thank you!!!

    I ordered a disc from the seller. Came very quickly and the packaging was nice. Minimal wear to both the disc and the case, and even had a little message for me to enjoy my discs. Product came as described, and I think I had a bang for my buck with the condition this DVD was in. I’ve checked some other DVDs and they go for around $7-10 plus shipping. Really happy with my experience and would order from this seller again if he had something else that I needed.
