James Acaster has written a book about social media. Or rather a book about giving up social media. 

James Acaster’s Guide to Quitting Social Media: Being the Best YOU You Can Be and Saving Yourself From Loneliness Vol 1 will be published by Headline this August in hardback, audio and e-book.  

Acaster says he “felt like he’d been born anew” when he quit social media and opted for “three-dimensional, real-life activities” instead, he found ways where he could “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".

Headline wrote: “This is a self-help book like no other. Because you aren’t helping yourself. James Acaster is helping you.”  

Acaster commented: “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.”
