THE ADVENTURES OF A DIGITAL OUTSIDER BY LUKE YOUNG

Brighton-based author Luke Young presents The Adventures of a Digital Outsider, a compelling memoir about stepping away from an online life that nearly consumed him. After a teenage crisis left him overwhelmed by digital noise, Luke made the drastic choice to disconnect completely, a decision that ultimately saved him. Years later, he set out on an ambitious interrail journey from Barcelona to Istanbul without a phone, navigating Europe using only preparation, instinct and the willingness to embrace uncertainty.

The memoir traces the emotional challenges of living offline in a hyper-connected world, revealing both the disorientation and the unexpected clarity that come with disconnection. Luke’s journey, shaped by vulnerability, resilience and moments of chance, offers a rare portrait of what it means to seek belonging beyond the screen.

Honest, reflective and quietly powerful, The Adventures of a Digital Outsider is an inspiring story of survival, self-discovery and reimagining life on one’s own terms.
