The internet defines Gerard Kane. But
after a death in the family and a dumping,
can going off-grid save him?
His pursuit of something outside the
saturation of data takes him from Cardiff,
and a web of family members caught in
cycles of selfies and online gambling or
relationships which fade without their
Instagram filter, to a new community in
the Danish woodland.

Reviews

'An exceptionally funny, well-observed and
street-smart book, as self-aware as it is
sensitive. The dialogue is as authentic as
any I've read this year, almost as if Tyte
has secretly recorded conversations and
simply transcribed them word for word.'
Jane Graham, The Big Issue
'So well written, it's funny, it's intelligent.
I really hope this book catapults him to
fame.'
The Afternoon Show, BBC Radio Scotland
'Brilliant, clever writing. A must-read.'
Buzz Magazine
'A wonderfully satirical and incisive look
at the ills of our modern online culture.'
Wales Arts Review
