The internet already made you a global citizen. At 2pm, you can watch Lamine Yamal play in Spain. A minute later, you open Instagram and see eight new posts from Paris, Lisbon, Peru, and one guy from high school who is apparently reselling sneakers in Dubai now. He lives in Dubai now? Your world is already bigger than wherever you happen to live.

Physically, though, it hasn’t caught up. You could know people everywhere, meet them anywhere, and build a life across the planet. The richest people already do. But that kind of freedom is still treated like a luxury. For everyone else, the options are basically the same as your grandparents’: stay frozen in one place, rent someone else’s life one Airbnb at a time (and pay a random $200 cleaning fee), or buy homes that tend to sit empty most of the year. The internet globalized your life. Unless you’re one of the big dogs, your physical life is still the same day-to-day routine in the same place.

I don’t think it will stay that way. As a software engineer, I’m bullish on what AI and autonomy will do to work in the 2030s. It’ll take up less of our lives, untether more of us from a fixed, boring workplace, and give us freedom to decide where—and around whom—we spend our time. Simply, it makes more kinds of lives possible.

Imagine Timothy. He makes $150k a year as a remote software engineer and just bought into Asia Pool II because his For You page while in college gave him the yellow fever. He now moves between Tokyo, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand freely every quarter.
