It comes with an epilogue about the future of humankind in light of ever-accelerating technological progress. With the recent advances in AI it is more relevant than ever.

A book about the circadian rhythm. Apparently, it's really misunderstood, even by your doctor. Read this book to understand your body better. It helped me improve my sleep.
Warsaw, Poland
Friendly towards foreigners. Affordable. Most people speak English. Safe. Not great in the winter though. The weather is crap, you never get to see the sun, and air quality gets bad.
Lisbon, Portugal
Great weather, although it gets chilly in winter. Good for surfing. On the flip side, I found the food bland and apparently the locals hate digital nomads?
Bangkok, Thailand
The new digital nomad favorite. A world-class metropolis. Fun and exciting. Affordable. Easy to reach by plane. It's not all rosy, though, air quality could be better and it's not really a walkable city.
Mint Tea
Refreshing and caffeine-free. Popular for its curative effects. Anti-inflammatory.

Affordable, casual pizza place in the center of Gdynia. They serve pizza by the slice, breakfasts, pastas and cakes. It's dog-friendly, has good music, friendly atmosphere and a vaguely "street style" hip vibe.
Thai Tea
The Thai staple. What can be better than a cold iced tea on a hot afternoon in Chiang Mai? Although they often make them too sweet so I always ask for no added sugar.
Philippine Airlines
My flight from Bangkok to Los Angeles was completely packed and the seats were tiny. This is arguably not the airline's fault but the layover in Manila was one of the worst I've had. You are herded from one queue to another for hours, surrounded by a crowd of people at all times.

Why not hear from the man who played a key part in it?
