Yesterday I read a pretty interesting article about digital nomads in the NY Times.
It went in depth about a specific brand of live-work spaces. At first glance the whole idea seems pretty appealing. The spaces themselves are clean, cheap and located in amazing cities.
But the digital nomad lifestyle doesn't seem to be sustainable over the long term.
The money quote for me in the article was this:
"Living anywhere is a lot like living nowhere.
Haid [the operator of the global live-work spaces] sees nomadism as a solution to our technologized, globalized lives, but it seems less like a fix than like an extension or intensification of the same condition."
Place is important. Context is important. A business trip in Hawaii is never a vacation, so why would "living" as a digital nomad skipping from Bali or Berlin to Bombay where you were always potentially working be any different?
