The Process of Enacting Consumer Utopias: an Ethnography of Digital Nomadism
We outline the process of how consumers self-transform as they move from a solid to liquid life. We conduct an ethnography of digital nomads which identifies a three stage process: breaking the chains, self-hacking a re-imagined life, and marketization. In doing so, we illuminate the nature of liquid consumer utopias.
