From bestselling author Nick Spalding comes a hilarious, uplifting story about one man’s attempt to live a tech free life.

Andy Bellows is in a right state. Plagued with insomnia, anxiety and neckache, he’s convinced there’s something seriously wrong with him. And the worst thing is that his doctor agrees. The diagnosis: Andy is in the grip of a self-destructive addiction to technology—he just cannot put that bloody mobile phone down.

Texting, tweeting, gaming and online dating—technology rules Andy’s life. His phone even monitors his bowel movements. So how will he cope when he’s forced to follow doctor’s orders and step away from all of his beloved screens?

When he loses his precious digital window on the world, Andy discovers just how bewildering and scary living an analogue life can be. And when his sixty-day detox hits the headlines—making him a hero to suffering technophiles everywhere—Andy is sorely tempted to pack it all in and escape in the nearest Uber.

Can he get himself out of this mess, and work out how to live a better, technologically balanced life…without consulting Google even once?

Arvustused

It was great. He addresses the pitfalls of digital life with the balance we desperately need. Beth the Bookworm

The humour is so dry, so hilarious and it all felt very genuineits really got a message that all of us could pause and take note of. Sarah in Readerland

Aside from being a great, humorous, sweet story about taking a break from technology, it is truly FUNNY. Lifes a Parade

Despite the book having quite a serious theme, it was constantly lighthearted and easy to reada great holiday read, or a great pick-me-up book. Audreys Reviews

Nick Spalding is an author who, try as he might, cant seem to write anything serious.

Before becoming a full-time author, he worked in the communications industry, mainly in media and marketing. As talking rubbish for a living can get tiresome (for anyone other than a politician), he thought hed have a crack at writing comedy fictionwith a very agreeable level of success so far, it has to be said. Nick has now sold about two million booksincluding a million books sales with Amazon Publishing alone. This flabbergasts him every single day.

Nick lives in the south of England with his lovely (and extremely patient) wife. Hes now in his mid-fortiesand is rather annoyed at the universe about it, because it gave him no choice in the matter. Hes also addicted to Thai food, still thinks Batman is just about the coolest thing on earth, and has a dreadful singing voice.
