Why join the devolution?

If that niggling feeling that life is getting a little too automated, too disconnected, and consisting f too much screen time has brought you to breaking point, don’t worry. You’re safe here.

I’m on a mission to slash my reliance on technology by radical amounts. The irony that I need to connect to like-minded people via the medium of the internet isn’t lost on me, but we’re doing what we can. And I have a plan for some snail mail coming soon too!

Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and publication archives that hopefully will help you in making conscious choices. But I’ll make one thing clear: we’re taking this on gently. Embracing how imperfectly we get it. There can be a lot of judgment in climate-conscious spaces. But not here*. You can hold me to that.

*Unless you’re a billionaire. Then I might judge you a little bit.

I'm deferring from the digital revolution. At least, I'm trying to. How easy is it to embrace a simpler way of living without completely cutting yourself off from society? 2025 is the year I find out. And you're welcome to join in.
