I’ve had that feeling of wanting to just disappear. Obviously I didn’t want this to happen in a less than pleasant manner (i.e. being abducted by aliens or being kidnapped for human trafficking) but of something caused by my own accord.

Evan Ratliff, now there’s a man who’s gutsy enough to go off-grid for a month. Ratfliff who writes for Wired decided to take up the challenge of vanishing for a month while offering a finder’s prize of $5,000 to whoever could locate and identify him. This online mystery saga/reality show came about with the question: How hard is it to vanish in the digital age?
