| Summary |
"Robert Hassan believes that we are 'trapped in a digital prison of constant distraction', and that the time we spend on screens is draining more from us than mere hours in the day. With the increasing amount of attention that digital devices demand diminishing our capacity for reflection, there is less time to stop and think about our lives, our selves. So what happens when we remove technology altogether? In order to break free from the 'digital prison', Hassan booked passage on a container ship and spent five weeks travelling from Melbourne to Singapore - disconnected and essentially alone. In this space of isolation and reflection, he was able to reconnect with lost memories and interrogate the lived experience of time. Uncontained is a personal exploration of this journey and a must-read for anyone who also feels the encroachment of the digital upon their inner world"-- Back cover |
