The internet defines Gerard Kane. But after a death in the family and a dumping, can going off-grid save him? His pursuit of something outside the saturation of data takes him from Cardiff, and a web of family members caught in cycles of selfies and online gambling or relationships which fade without their Instagram filter, to a new community in the Danish woodland. The Offline Project is the second novel from Welsh writer Dan Tyte and features illustrations by Max Low. This sharp and highly contemporary narrative probes into our dependence on the internet, and to what extent we might be able to free ourselves from this, a concern of immediate relevance to an increasing number of the population. AUTHOR: Dan Tyte's debut novel, Half Plus Seven, was published by Parthian in 2014. He has performed at the Hay Festival, Southbank Centre, and Edinburgh Fringe, and is a regular commentator on BBC Radio Wales. His short story Onwards is frequently taught at the American University of Paris.
