`An elegant, thoughtful book . . . beautifully expresses the importance and experience of liberation from the battery-hen life of constant connection and crowds.' Daily Mail`A compelling study of the subtle ways in which modern life and technologies have transformed our behaviour and sense of self.' Times Literary SupplementIn a world of social media and smartphones, true solitude has become increasingly hard to find.
