The rise of digital nomadism, driven by technological advancements, promises remote work freedom but has darker consequences: potential societal fragmentation, cultural homogenization, loss of local identity, mental health challenges, labor exploitation, economic disparities, and eroding citizenship.

Digital nomadification can be likened to ‘gentrification’… and it’s the permanent transformation that neighborhoods and locations undergo to adapt to the social, cultural, and economic needs of this new market. Despite some locations being able to preserve distinctive, historical exteriors, the interiors often blend into homogenous co-working spaces with their sole purpose to satisfy connectivity and power needs coupled with an occasional coffee blend.

If digital nomads exit their home countries for the promise of untethered freedoms and borderless individualism, can their consent to the social contract be ‘opted out’ by leaving their home state? Do social obligations and commitments transfer to a chosen community? There is currently a lack of longitudinal research into the temporal nature of digital nomadism, their chosen length of stay in different destinations, the overall commitment as a permanent lifestyle choice, and the implications for identity, political, and socio-economic perspectives.
