While most people were commuting to the office, a small group of remote workers traveled the world as digital nomads. Some predict thereโll be a billion of them by 2035. What would that mean for the future of work, life, culture, society, and business?
It might be surprising, but the idea of location independence is nothing new. As far back as the 1960s, sci-fi writer Arthur C. Clarke said people would be able to โwork from Bali, just as well as from Londonโ by the 2010s. Lauren Razavi was one of the early adopters who proved him right, building a career on the road. Today, sheโs one of the digital nomad movementโs leading voices and activists.
In her debut book, Razavi delves into the origins of digital nomads and the history of work from anywhere. She introduces us to the people, values, and ideas shaping a borderless world, from visionary designers and self-help gurus to crypto-anarchists and climate refugees.
Global Natives is a vivid, thoughtful exploration of how the internet has changed the human relationship with place. If youโre curious about digital nomads and borderless living beyond the hype, this is the book for you.

What is the Holloway Reader?
The Holloway Reader lets you read and engage with books bought on Holloway. It is the most advanced reading experience for books on the webโyou use it right in your browser, on desktop or mobile. In contrast to ebooks and paper books, online content in the Holloway Reader is always up to date, including updates when changes to the content are made, like responses to reader questions, new data, or new developments. It includes expert commentary in the margins and offers bookmarks and highlights, instant definitions of technical terms from a glossary, instant previews of links and footnotes, and a powerful search capability only available on Holloway titlesโand we have a lot more on the way.
Do you sell print books?
For a few titles, yes, you can buy paperback editions directly on Amazon. We believe the web is the most flexible interface for readingโbut we know it wonโt replace the satisfaction or practicality of print for some people. Current paperback titles include Art for Money: Up Your Freelance Game and Get Paid What Youโre Worth, Ask Me This Instead, The Holloway Guide to Technical Recruiting and Hiring, and Angel Investing: Start to Finish and more are on the way.

If you care about design, youโll be pleased that itโs formatted using the same quality of typography youโll find in books. (Just please donโt share or republish downloads.*)
Do I have to be online to read?
