Rhaine, thank you for this wonderfully insightful and educational piece. I learned so much that I had never heard before, and I’m very intrigued to learn more. I also kept wondering about all of the science fiction and fantasy novels that I read and love which include small communities and whole cultures who live in a more nomadic lifestyle. Many are dystopian, but others are actually more solar punk. Of course I can’t think of any off the top of my head to share right now, but I’d be really curious to know if you’ve ever come across this theme in stories you’ve read, what you think about the fact that many writers do incorporate this kind of lifestyle into future-looking stories.

Really wonderful piece. Can’t wait to see where you go on this journey. xo

Thank you for this information. 4 years ago I moved to Texas to be part of my (now) 94-year old Mom’s care team, after retiring from 20 years as an academic. I bought a manufactured tiny house — a move I wanted to do rather than continue apartment living. I like living small and tiny homes appeal to me. I live in a RV Park cul-de-sac that is a combo of tiny homes and RVs. I am watching as a boon in “park models” is happening. Home… is not one place for me. Where my heart is.
