'Ian McFarlane reconciles a haunting nostalgia for the natural beauty of his English childhood on the Isle of Wight with an awakening adolescent and adult love for Australia; from arrival in Perth in the mid-1950s to the far south coast of NSW, where he now lives. This 5000 word chapbook essay fondly remembers a pre-digital past in a chaotically cyberspace present to suggest that our future is linked to where we began, how we survived and ultimately why we even bothered.'
