Deep in the Appalachian Mountains lies the last truly quiet town in America. Green Bank, West Virginia, is a place at once futuristic and old-fashioned. With a ban on all devices emanating radio frequency interference (RFI) that might interfere with the observatory's telescopes, Quiet Zone residents live a life free from constant digital connectivity. Journalist Stephen Kurczy's deep-dive into this community introduces a menagerie of eccentric residents and a portrait of a community where those seeking refuge confront a reality that is often stranger than fiction.
