“The term “digital nomad” describes people who no longer rely on work in a conventional office; instead, they can decide freely when and where to work. They can essentially work anywhere, as long as they have their laptop with them and access to a good internet connection. This means that their workplace might be in a shared office in Berlin, Germany for one month, and a month later they will be working on the same project in a café in Chiang Mai, Thailand.”

The "digital nomads" proposed in the book are persons who use digital tools and Internet technology to travel the world for work. They will no longer be constrained by geography and will be able to execute work assignments efficiently from anywhere. The book investigates the impact of technology on work and lifestyle, predicting a future in which individuals will work remotely using mobile devices, breaking free from the confines of a fixed workplace.

Reichenberger (2018) explores the idea of digital nomads pursuing total freedom, focusing on their experiences in work and leisure. Reichenberger believes that digital nomads pursue not only freedom of location, but also freedom of lifestyle and career choices.
