I'm reading a scary book...

...called Next Stop, Reloville: Life Inside America's New Rootless Professional Class, by Peter T. Kilborn. It's a non-fiction piece about corporate nomads and a good book for anyone who is considering a "Relo" or a career as a "Relo."

As the product of that culture, I made a personal decision a long time ago not to participate in it. Although there are many advantages to being a Relo, the costs associated with that lifestyle are huge. This book only reinforces my decision.

There's a review of Next Stop, Reloville in The Wall Street Journal that disputes many of its conclusions, but either way, it's interesting stuff.
