The Anti-Tech Society

Chapter 1: Meet the Club

A teenage boy named Alex is sitting alone in his room staring at his phone. He's scrolling through social media, feeling disconnected from the world and lonely despite the constant stream of updates from his friends.

One day, Alex decides he's had enough. He starts talking to some of his close friends and discovers that they all feel the same way - overwhelmed and suffocated by the constant noise and distraction of the digital world. They long for the kind of connection and meaningful interactions they remember from their childhoods before smartphones and social media took over.

Together, they come up with the idea of starting a secret club - a place where they can escape the pressures of technology and connect with each other through face-to-face conversations and activities. They agree to meet once a week and to keep the club a secret from their parents and the authorities.

At their first meeting, they discuss what they want to get out of the club and come up with a list of rules, such as no phones or other electronic devices allowed, and a strict policy against talking about anything related to social media or technology. They bring books, board games, and snacks to share, and spend several hours enjoying each other's company and disconnecting from the world.

As they leave the meeting, Alex and his friends feel a sense of relief and excitement. They know that they've stumbled upon something special and that this club could change their lives for the better. They also feel a sense of trepidation - they know that what they're doing is risky and that they could get in trouble if anyone finds out.
