Return to the real world! A coupon-style booklet of 52 activities for
offline fun, from Jason Fulford and Tamara Shopsin
Jason Fulford and Tamara Shopsin's Offline Activities is a book of 52
suggestions for things you can do in real life. Rearrange your
furniture; invite an old friend to lunch; bring something home from the
supermarket and treat it as sculpture. Part novelty, part self-help
guide, Offline Activities encourages you to seek out the chance and
mystery that is often lacking in the digital age.
Featuring the kind of ingenious, charming design you expect from a Jason
Fulford and Tamara Shopsin project, Offline Activities is designed as
a coupon book with tear-out pages, with one inspirational suggestion and
quote per page. You are encouraged to physically do the activity and rip
the page out of the book as proof. If you do one offline activity per
week, the book will last a year. Offline Activities is a delightfully
analog, pleasantly practical guide to shaking up your offscreen life.
