Where you go when you're not here

Michael's new book — the story of thirty years of vanishing into screens, and the long walk home.
Written in short, true scenes you can read in a minute each: a boy in a Cambridgeshire vicarage disappearing into a television; a first phone thrown into a lake in 1999; a teacher burying a locked metal box in the Sedona desert; and the candlelit November evening in 1998 that started the way back.
It's not an argument, and it's not a lecture. It's what the trance feels like from the inside — and what coming home feels like, too.

"When I walk back into my house, the whole place — the house, the world, my mind — feels lighter. Bigger. Expanded. The whole world has more air in it. More light, more color. I can actually see things.
That night I sleep more deeply than I have in years."
