Now available worldwide, Joe Brazeal’s two essential new releases reveal the untold story behind the digital age.

BRANDON, MS, UNITED STATES, September 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- INFOGO An Internet Startup

"The story of the internet's birth told from the front lines, where power, politics, organized crime, and survival collided in ways history books have yet to fully reckon with."

LIVING WITH THUNDER Alzheimer's Untold: A Family's Journey

"A raw, un inching, and ultimately hopeful account of confronting early onset Alzheimer's from inside a family, written for every family living this right now."

ABOUT THE BOOKS:
TWO REALITIES FROM ONE EXTRAORDINARY LIFE

Before the internet was a household word, Joe Brazeal was already inside it, not as a bystander, but as a systems architect operating at the epicenter of one of the most consequential technological revolutions in human history. What he witnessed, what he was asked to do, and what he was forced to walk away from reads less like a tech memoir and more like a survival story. Because that's exactly what it is.

"People died. This isn't a historical footnote, it's a reckoning. The internet didn't just change how we communicated. It changed who had power, who lost it, and who disappeared because of it."
— JOE BRAZEAL, INFOGO AN INTERNET STARTUP

Long before tech entrepreneurs were celebrated on magazine covers, the early internet was a Wild West of covert operations, political scandal, and dangerous consequence. Brazeal operated in that world and paid for it. His debut work, Infogo, chronicles the birth of the information superhighway from the inside, set squarely against the political upheaval of the Clinton presidency, shadow networks of power, and events so volatile that Brazeal ultimately had no choice but to walk away from his own identity and start over.

The story runs the gauntlet. Higher powers are at work. Ties date back to Arkansas's pre-statehood days, weaving through the Rose Law Firm, the Dixie Mafia, and the assassination of JFK, threading through the Clinton presidency and beyond, spreading to self-anointed invisible networks. Power corrupts absolutely.

"At a certain point, stepping away was no longer optional. I had to become someone else just to survive. That's not metaphor. That's what happened."
— JOE BRAZEAL

Then there is the second book. And if Infogo is a story about power, Living with Thunder is a story about love, and what love costs when it asks everything of you. Brazeal's wife was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's. He did not write about it from a clinical distance. He wrote from inside the storm: the grinding daily reality of watching someone you love become a stranger, the emotional and physical toll of caregiving, and the strange, terrible strength required to keep going.

"Living with Thunder wasn't written from the outside looking in. It was written from within it, because that's the only place where the truth of this disease lives."
— JOE BRAZEAL, LIVING WITH THUNDER

These are not two separate stories. They are two realities from one life, one shaped by power and consequence, the other by love, loss, and resilience. Running beneath all of it, even in the darkest passages, is the same quiet, stubborn humor: the mark of a man who has looked at very hard things and refused to be broken by them.
