They seem harmless, even cool, with their minimalist backpack and Mac always on. But digital nomads, modern colonizers of the third millennium, are transforming small authentic cities into globalized Disneylands. This book denounces their economic, social and cultural impact: skyrocketing rents, overturned local communities, cloned coffee shops everywhere. A critical (and ironic) guide to understanding who they are, what they want, and above all how to avoid them. For those who truly love to travel, for those who don't want to lose their city under the assault of marketing freelancers and startup gurus.
