It is beyond doubt that technological change, shifts in the occupational structure, the riseof post-Fordist flexible specialisation and of new forms of professional and entrepreneurialworking have contributed significantly to the rise of ‘mobile’ or ‘nomadic’ working. Thesight of people on the laptops on trains and in airports, the rise of ‘serviced office’ provision,home working, and so on, all testify to this. The Covid epidemic, ironically, has brought theseissues into sharp relief. Work, where and how it is done, who legislates and controls it and thehuge importance of spatiality and temporality have been brought to our attention in a big way.Much of what has happened has made us, as members of the sub-category of academic workers and as workers tout court, confront a number of otherwise taken-for-granted issues aroundwhere and how we do our work. The book is based on a five year collaborative project andrelies on a primarily qualitative approach, utilising interview data to elaborate on, and contribute to, much of the theoretical debate about the role of mobility in contemporary working life.
