When I started dreaming of my escape from social media, I looked for ways to share pictures and stories in a new way. One of the first things that came to mind was books.

I’ve always wanted to make books. The reasons why are a long story you can read within, but to make it short: I eventually decided to just do it.

Just one physical copy of this volume exists. Why? I could give you some schtick about preserving its authenticity or making it meaningful, but the truth is that even with a 40 percent off coupon, Shutterfly is expensive.

So here is Volume One of Screenless – ironically, on your screen. It woks best if you click the three dots in the lower right, then select “Full Screen.” Please forgive the ads – they weren’t my idea.
