In this increasingly neoliberal gig economy, exponentially
expanding with technological advances, the ability to work online
remotely has led some western millennials to travel the world to
work and play, while making a subsistence living as digital
platform workers. Digging beneath the superficial newspaper
articles that highlight beach-bound, bikinied workers, adorned with
laptops, this book asks, what are the social implications of
adopting the subcultural lifestyle known as 'Digital Nomadism'?
This book explores the inherent social problems with this
lifestyle. Examining how Digital Nomadism provides an
individualistic fix for an otherwise downwardly-mobile millennial
generation, Thompson demonstrates how this generation increasingly
postpone markers of adulthood-purchasing a house, getting married,
or having children-because of their financial insecurities.
Thompson highlights that while being a Digital Nomad can provide a
high quality of life while living on the beaches of Thailand, such
avenues obscures their inabilities to afford a comfortable
lifestyle in their home countries.
