The pandemic changed the way we work forever. As many companies were already in the progress of making their digital transformation, so to was its labor force becoming new remote workers, telecommuting employees, and digital nomads. The new situation in which people began working from anywhere took form, now forcing us to ask questions about what it really means to be a citizen of a country. I spoke with Lauren Razavi, the Director of Special Projects at SafetyWing, where she leads the Plumia mission to build a country on the internet. Would you leave your old citizenship behind to become a citizen of an intangible, borderless internet country? Is this some libertarian wet dream? What is the foreign policy of an internet country? Domestic policy? Why this? Why now? Razavi answers all of this in the last Exit Strategy podcast of the year. Enjoy!
