What It's Like to Live in a Town with Zero Internet Access

What happens when an entire town goes offline?

What It's Like to Live in a Town with Zero Internet Access by Jordan Blake is a compelling look into the rhythms of life in places untouched by digital connection. Blending sociology, community studies, education, economics, and everyday resilience, this book paints a vivid picture of how towns thrive-or struggle-when cut off from the web.

Across ten revealing chapters and three helpful appendices, you'll explore how people communicate, learn, work, stay informed, and even entertain themselves in a world where Wi-Fi doesn't exist. With real-world insight and thoughtful commentary, this book is both a sociological case study and a meditation on what it means to live truly unplugged .
