Unplugged is the story of a thirty-something man who makes his fortune in technology and has a chance to live a life that most people would envy. Instead, he unplugs himself from the digital world with the hope of finding what makes him truly happy.
If you are the type of person who embarrasses easily, I suggest you don’t read this book in a public place, because you will spontaneously laugh out loud. That being said, despite the snappy dialogue, the absurd situations, and the comedic characters, there is an underlying message in the story: sometimes you have to set aside your old way of life to discover what is important. I found this book to be very entertaining, but I have to issue a warning. The humor can be dark at times, and certain events could be disturbing to some.
Sublime Line: “Unplugged is a well-written, laugh-out-loud novel with a message delivered by zany characters and absurd incidents.”
