The only problem with getting everything you ever wanted is that it forces you to reassess everything you ever wanted in the first place. Thirty-two-year-old Dan Johnson has it all; a nine-digit net worth, a gorgeous fiancé and a luxury riverside brownstone. The only problem is, he doesnâ??t want any of it. And the endless distractions of digitized society give him no head space to figure out what he does want. So, Dan unplugs. He abandons all things digital technology, effectively retreating from society to live an analog lifestyle geared at perfecting the art of avoidance. When a case of mistaken identity launches Dan into a series of bizarro relationships and absurd events, it represents an unexpected path to reconnect him with a world he never knew existed. Dark, offbeat and laugh-out-loud funny, Unplugged is a coming of middle-age story about finding authentic connections and meaning in todayâ??s hyper-digitized… (más)

DNF. I only got a couple chapters into this book before I realized that it was not something I wanted to spend my time on. The innuendos were totally unnecessary and off putting. I'm sorry, but I did not enjoy this book and could not finish it.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. ( )

I received this book for feedback.
This book did not go any which way I thought it would.
The main characters are brothers. Ones I n a crappy marriage the other is trying to get rid of a warped reality of an ex fiance. One is on really hard times...the other is a multi millionaire.
It does open your eyes to the world of the homelessness. They might not exactly be what most people catorigize them as. ( )

I fell in love with Joe Barrett's writing with Managed Care. I then read about half of Daisy in the Doghouse and was disappointed. Barrett is back on top with this book.

I think what I enjoy the most is how Dan sees the world for what it is. Frank Johnson from Manager Care and Dan Johnson from this book both have a world weariness that makes them say exactly what's on their minds. I personally find protagonists like this to be the most satisfying. Maybe it's because I'd like to be more like them.

The story itself is uplifting. Dan's relationship leads him to do good works on behalf of the orphanage that his girlfriend works for. But it avoids the trap of becoming mawkish or saccharine. Dan remains wary, but recognizes that his actions are a net good.

I hope to read Joe Barrett's next book soon! ( )

From the first couple pages, you are instantly hooked. I was really impressed at how well this author could tell a story. I especially liked the Everyman conscious of the O’Shaughnessy group. You can kinda see where things are going, but the familiarity is almost more comforting. ( )

This novel, which is about a tech tycoon who decides to ditch his smartphone and unplug from the world, begins with some of the funniest writing I've ever read. I laughed so hard it hurt, no exaggeration. Though this book isn't sci-fi, it reminded me of the droll farce of Douglas Adams's novels. I was really interested in how the unplugged lifestyle would work, and how the protagonist would manage all the idiots and manipulators in his life. The book dials the humor down a bit when the protagonist, finally liberated from distraction, looks inward and figures out who he wants to be. He gets involved in a social cause, a romance, and an identity mix-up that he doesn't want to resolve just yet. The climax has the nuttiness of a John Hughes movie until it crosses a line, and crosses it hard. Though I didn't enjoy the ending as much as the beginning, it makes its point well: attention is everything. ( )
