“Nomadland” by Jessica Bruder is a thought-provoking and eye-opening exploration of the growing phenomenon of older Americans who have embraced a nomadic lifestyle due to economic instability and the loss of traditional retirement options.

Bruder takes readers on a journey across the United States, meeting and living alongside these modern-day nomads, often referred to as “workampers,” as they navigate the challenges and joys of life on the road.

Through in-depth interviews and intimate storytelling, Bruder sheds light on the complex reasons behind this lifestyle choice and the resilience of those who have chosen to live life on their own terms.
