No One Knows But Us (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798244607598)

No One Knows But Us is a collection of personal essays about working various freelance jobs throughout the years. As a journalist, Michael Raqim Mira interviewed assassins.

Then there was the time he was an undercover church evaluator, pretending to be a new parishioner at various denominations.

When he worked as a Filipino-English translator for law firms, he saw first-hand the consequences of human trafficking and the real-life effects of immigration laws.

He was even a "psychic" once, who didn't see the future through a crystal ball but through the repetitive patterns of history and predictable human behavior.

He also performed the role of the "ideal" companion for a romantic chat app, where lonely men and women interacted with made-up characters.

These essays of various freelance experiences is a frontline view of someone deep in the trenches of the ever-growing and evolving gig economy.
