Thompson begins by setting the stage with the rise of digital nomadism and its acceleration during the COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequent chapters present Western millennials' demographics and socioeconomic status, the challenges and opportunities of the gig economy, the psychological aspects of digital nomadism, and the search for community among nomads. Thompson also shares her critical findings on marginalized identities within the nomad community due to her longitudinal field works. Her ethnographic approach, involving participant observations and interviews, paints a vivid picture of their lived experiences. An essential reference in academic discussions on digital nomadism, this book sets the agenda where many other researchers and editors of collective works fell short in their academic exploration during its publication date.
