Offline Matters: The Less-Digital Guide to Creative Work

When did creative work become so boring?
How did 'digital-first' come to dominate everything?
...and why is nobody talking about it?

Part insider exposé, part worker-manual, this book is for any creative seeking help on:

• Navigating the possibility of offline alternatives
  
  
• Countering overwork culture, exploitation, and dulled-down ideas
  
  
• Recovering what you loved about your creative calling

...away from the confines of our screens. We are dreaming of offline. Not as a romanticized past, a punishment, a quick detox, or a WiFi-free café. Offline is not a lifestyle. It's a space of opportunity.

By the end of Offline Matters, you'll have a new perspective on the dry digitality that defines creative work today - and a set of strategies for going beyond it.
