Thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for an advance of this title in exchange for my honest review. This is a relevant title (no pun intended.) I go through this all the time, and I think so many of us know how Andy, the main character feels and the issues he goes through. I love that it's a quick read as well. A lot of what the author talks about took me back to some of the things I used to do, that I no longer do, because of all the technology. I love it, and I hate it. I'm betting pretty much anyone can relate.

Such a relevant book for today. I think many people will relate to the character of Andy and his experiences of living in a world that is constantly 'switched on'.
I think this book highlighted both the pros and cons of the online world, particularly of social media.
It covered so many areas: online dating, social influencers, the media.
I liked the glimpses of going back to a simpler time: using maps, landlines, using the high street instead of internet shopping.
Well done Nick Spalding, you definitely have a hit on your hands here. Also thankyou to Netgalley for allowing me to read this in advance of its release.

A very quick and humorous read! I use my phone far too much so completely enjoyed this story.... Well done Nick Spalding for highlighting this and how life improves when you detox from your phone and other electrical devices.

Another funny, witty and thought-provoking read from Nick Spalding.
When main character Andy Bellows finds himself in a sticky situation at a work presentation he decides there is no alternative to visit the doctor- that is after he has diagnosed himself with 5 types of cancer using “Google”. The diagnosis: Andy spends too long connected to the online world and needs to embark on a digital detox. The story follows Andy as he begins “Logging Off” and reconnecting with the real world. A world where he has to use paper maps, leave the house to buy food and speak to actual human beings. Before long Andy’s story appears in the paper but Andy is beginning to have second thoughts.
Overall, an absolutely fantastic read. Nick has written in such a lovely style yet again, funny and gives the reader something to think about. I’m sure this book will do well once published and I have no doubt that it will end up as one of my top reads of 2020.
A huge thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for this ARC.

This book was so good. I didn't to put it down! The characters were well rounded, and the storyline sucked you into it and made you feel like you were really there. The author did an great job telling this story.
