A
superb long read from Wired, detailing the lofty ambitions for digital nomadism which often diverge from the rather more prosaic and strained reality. Particularly interesting is that this story is coming from the perspective of service providers for digital nomads - the local authorities, the community organisers, the businesses which provide accommodation and facilities. The problem at root, is the very lack of rootedness. Nomadism is a form of transience and connections with local people and place will always be more tenuous for it. It’s brilliant anthropological read - and a must read, for anyone thinking about taking off for sunnier climes. H/T to brainfooder
Paul Gresia for the share.
