About this title

Synopsis

A look inside the subculture of off-grid living, taking readers across the ideological spectrum and across America

Written by a leading authority on living off the grid, this is a fascinating and timely look at one of the fastest growing movements in America. In researching the stories that would become Off the Grid, Nick Rosen traveled from one end of the United States to the other, spending time with all kinds of individuals and families striving to live their lives the way they want to-free from dependence on municipal power and amenities, and free from the inherent dependence on the government and its far-reaching arms. While the people profiled may not have a lot in common in terms of their daily lives or their personal background, what they do share is an understanding of how unique their lives are, and how much effort and determination is required to maintain the lifestyle in the face of modern America's push toward connectivity and development.

About the Author

Nick Rosen is a rising authority on living off the grid and has written extensively on the subject for the Times (London), the Guardian, and Reuters. He is also an award-winning documentary filmmaker. He edits the website Off-Grid.net in the back of his RV, using a laptop plugged into the cigar lighter (and a wireless modem plugged into the laptop). His hobbies include cooking, diving, and trespassing, and he has a part-time off-grid home on the island of Majorca.
