A field guide for creators seeking a sustainable, intentional relationship to the Internet.
Every creator needs the right relationship to the Internet. Blackout times are good, but how do you manage your kids’ school calling? How can retreats and detoxes feel nourishing and capacious and not restrictive and punishing?
Also, let’s face it: A lot of times we can’t just log off platforms that deliver audiences, collaborators, and crucial intel from the field. Yet the same sites can erode attention, confuse incentives and sometimes, it feels, warp the soul!
And will all these problems soon feel quaint in the age of nuclear-powered AI?
The bad news is that many problems can’t be solved—only managed. The good news is that when we arrive at our own tenets, we might not just improve our practice or refine outcomes but learn more deeply what creativity is for—and what we are for as creative people.
Following case studies of major creatives, this book lays out strategies for balancing connectivity and solitude, discerning what’s invasive in digital space from what’s generative, and, yeah, just when turn our ringers off.
