WIRED is hosting its first Book Club livestream featuring Carlos Barragán, author of "The Yahoo Boys: Love, Deception, and the Real Lives of Nigeria’s Romance Scammers."
Barragán, a journalist and researcher for The New York Times, spent time in Lagos immersing himself with a group of young individuals involved in romance scams. His book offers a compelling, often gut-wrenching, yet sometimes darkly humorous look at how the internet can be a breeding ground for heartbreak and deception.
This special event will allow readers to directly engage with Barragán. Submit your most pressing questions about the book and the world of online romance scams in the comments section below. The livestream is scheduled for July 16th at 12 PM ET / 9 AM PT and will be available to stream right here.
The livestream is exclusively for WIRED subscribers. For those who can't make it live, a replay will be available afterward. If you're not yet a subscriber, signing up now grants you access to this event and full WIRED content.
