Description
This collection of essays departs from the days when being away from the keyboard (AFK) still felt like a real possibility. In today's landscape of habitual connectivity, no matter where you are, you constantly wonder what's happening on your phone. Often, this is not a good feeling. While the digital fabric of everyday life does not feel the same for everybody, no one can disentangle themselves from it. Instead of being stuck with techno-pessimism, these essays acknowledge bad feelings AFK and sit with our complicated relationship to them. Each part of the book uses the alphabet as a supportive structure to talk about attachment, breakups and the haunting effects of the techno-military-industrial complex.
