A Life Lived Remotely examines how the internet has reshaped the conditions we now accept as normal for work. Rather than a how-to guide, Siobhan McKeown delivers a memoir woven with sharp critiques of economics and ideology. She traces how remote work blurs the line between labour and leisure — remote workers put in longer hours, often unpaid, while companies shed responsibility for benefits, training, and stable wages. The celebrated "entrepreneur" and "fail fast" ethos, she argues, disguises growing precarity and eroding worker rights. Alongside this runs a thread on identity, attention, online empathy, and the tethered loneliness of digital nomad life.
