James Acaster to release book about quitting social media
- James Acaster's Guide To Quitting Social Media will be published on 18th August 2022
- The humourous book sees the comic talking about replacing social media with "real-life activities"
- Acaster says: "Attention all web addicts - I am here to cure you with my brand new book. Please help spread the word by tweeting about it"
James Acaster is due to release a new book in August, called James Acaster's Guide to Quitting Social Media, Being The Best YOU You Can Be And Saving Yourself From Loneliness Vol. 1.
The blurb explains: "This is a self help book like no other. Because you are not helping yourself, James Acaster is helping you.
"When James quit all forms of social media in 2019 he felt like he'd been born anew, but he was worried he'd suffer withdrawal and get lured back online to compete in a never ending popularity contest with only one possible winner (f*cking Zuckerberg). He knew that in order to stay clean he'd have to replace everything social media used to give him with three-dimensional, real-life activities.
"And so it was that James found ways to anonymously bully strangers, see photos of everyone's dogs, get invited to as many parties as possible, immediately know about all celebrity deaths, get public figures fired, argue with everybody about everything, and so much more without even owning a phone (he painted over the screen of his old one to stop himself looking at Instagram)."
Published by Headline on 18th August, the 304 page book will also be available as an eBook.
It will be Acaster's third book, following on from 2017's Classic Scrapes and 2019's Perfect Sound Whatever.
Publisher Richard Roper told industry news source The Bookseller: "While working as an undercover cop and dealing with cabbages in the post, James has somehow also found the time to become the most important self-help guru in the world. This epoch-defining tome will finally solve the riddle of how we can stay off social media and still find the dizzying highs that come with each tweet. It's not an exaggeration to say that this book will change lives."
Acaster himself comments: "Attention all web addicts - I am here to cure you with my brand new book. Please help spread the word by tweeting about it, sharing on Facebook, Insta, do a TikTok about it - every little helps. Let's make this book go viral and quit social media in the process! Like and subscribe below! Yours sincerely, James Acaster."
The comedian also released a video to announce the book:
