Summary
Green Bank, West Virginia is a place at once futuristic and old-fashioned: It's home to the Green Bank Observatory, where astronomers search the depths of the universe, while schoolchildren go without WiFi or iPads. 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. But a town that on the surface seems idyllic is also a place of contradictions
