Requests:  0 Summary:  An award-winning journalist takes us deep into the Appalachian Mountains where the last truly quiet town of America exists and where its residents live a life free from constant digital connectivity, challenging us to rethink the role of tech in our lives. Deep in the Appalachian Mountains, Green Bank, West Virginia, is a place at once futuristic and old-fashioned. It is home to the Green Bank Observatory, where astronomers search the depths of the universe using the latest technology. With a ban on all devices emanating radio frequencies that might interfere with the observatory's telescopes, residents live a life free from constant digital connectivity; schoolchildren go without WiFi or iPads. Kurcxy introduces readers to a tech buster patrolling the area for illegal radio waves; "electrosensitives" who claim that WiFi is deadly; a sheriff's department with a string of unsolved murder cases dating back decades; a camp of neo-Nazis plotting their resurgence from a nearby mountain hollow; and ordinary citizens seeking a simpler way of living. Kurczy asks: Is a less connected life desirable? Is it even possible? -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 975.487 Ku Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 975.487 Ku Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 975.487 Ku Checked In   Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 975.487 Ku Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 975.487 Ku Checked out 06/03/2024 Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 975.487 Ku Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
