Bett McBunnet is a Nairobi-born writer, digital culture analyst, and underground cybersecurity researcher whose fascination with systems — both human and virtual — has shaped his storytelling. Raised between code and contradictions, he blends his love for speculative fiction, African realities, and digital dystopias into gritty narratives that challenge authority and defy genre. Before turning to fiction full-time, Nyari worked with whistleblowers, ethical hackers, and digital rights activists across East Africa. His writing draws from real events in the shadowy corners of the internet — from crypto laundering rings to social engineering exploits. When he isn’t writing or breaking down firewalls (on paper, of course), Nyari disappears into mountain trails, lo-fi music, and conspiracy documentaries he probably shouldn’t believe in. *The Protocol* is his debut novel.
