Offline Matters is a handbook for anybody experiencing digital overload in their lives and creative work.

"For any creative who has had to cater to corporate dimwits in order support their art, here''s a terrific guide to bringing your best work into the commercial sphere without selling out or compromising your craftThis is a book about how to break free from the data-driven expectations of your client''s spreadsheet, and retrieve the true novelty that makes you valuable in the first place." – Douglas Rushkoff, author of Team Human

"Offline Matters is a much needed take-down of the whole ''cult of creativity'' from the insideThis rattle gun attack on the perniciousness of the creative digital work will leave you aghast and amused in equal measure." – Oli Mould, author of Against Creativity

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 screensWe are dreaming of offline. Not as a romanticised 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.
