The future of my home

What if your home could move?

For ten thousand years, a home has meant a fixed point on the land - a structure to own, to defend, and to mortgage a lifetime against. Today that assumption is cracking. The climate crisis, remote work, shrinking households, and the shift from ownership to access are rewriting what a home is for. The Future of My Home maps that transformation.

Author Geo breaks the home down into its six core functions - sleeping, eating, hygiene, storage, work, and leisure - and asks what happens when each one can be separated, shared, or set on wheels. From there the book follows the long lineage of mobile dwelling: the tent and the Mongolian ger, the camper van and the caravan, houseboats and hotel living, and on to autonomous sleeping pods, flying habitation capsules, and floating cities at sea. It then turns to the infrastructure that makes a fluid life possible - mobile-home stations, self-storage as a "physical cloud," nomad workations, urban air mobility, and off-grid platforms that reach a disaster zone within hours.

Yet the book does not stop at movement. Its final chapters travel in the opposite direction, into the earthship and five kinds of natural building made from earth, straw, and stone - homes that stay put but cut the cord to the city entirely. The surprising conclusion: the lightest home and the most rooted one are chasing the same goal - independence from the massive infrastructure of the modern metropolis.

Drawing on Bachelard, Yi-Fu Tuan, Le Corbusier, Foucault, and the housing cultures of Korea, Japan, Europe, and the United States, and grounded in real cases from OCEANIX Busan to the Greater World Earthship Community, this is a wide-ranging, clear-eyed exploration of where we will live next - and a practical guide, complete with a self-assessment and a 90-day roadmap, for anyone ready to try a lighter way of living.

Inside you will find:

• The philosophy of home, East and West - from the hanok courtyard to "a machine for living in"


• A blueprint for modular housing that grows and shrinks with your life


• The real economics of camper vans, caravans, and hotel living


• "Five days in the city, two in the country" - and how to flip it


• Earthships, straw-bale, cob, superadobe, rammed earth, and earth-sheltered homes


• An honest look at the downsides: vanlife hardship, nomad gentrification, and platform dependence

The home is not a destination. It is a journey - and this book is your map.
