Author Robert Hassan believes we are trapped in a digital prison of constant distraction. In Uncontained, he books a passage on a container ship and spends five weeks travelling from Melbourne to Singapore without digital distractions -- disconnected, and essentially alone.

In this space of isolation and reflection, he is able to reconnect with lost memories and interrogate the lived experience of time.

Uncontained is a personal exploration of this journey and a must-read for anyone who feels the encroachment of the digital upon their inner world.

The first academic monograph from Grattan Street Press.
