A hilarious and timely illustrated bedtime (fantasy) story for adults (and young adults).

OFF: The Day the Internet Died (A Bedtime Fantasy)
by Chris Colin, illustrated by Rinee Shah
Prestel, Fall 2020

OFF shows us how weird and wonderful it would be if the Internet was banished from existence, in the Biblical sense, as it probably should be. It’s GO THE F*CK TO SLEEP for the tech-addicted masses and might possibly save the world!

OFF is for the millions of anxious college kids, parents, and previously functional people touched by the Internet, all around the world, ages 18 to 65. It crosses business, psychology, humor, and lifestyle. Basically, it’s a fantasy priced at the low low price of…a book.
