Nomadland the movie is a wonderful adaptation of this book. The film excels in showing the spectacular sights and places frequented by the modern silver-haired nomads as they drive from job to job in van/trailer/bus/RV conversions. After meeting a good number of the American trailer-gypsies and traveling 15,000 miles over the course of three years, the book's author has taken a deep dive into the ways of living of the houseless drifters' past/present, joys/challengers and uncertain future. An easy read and full of social insights on the daily lives of those essential workers that keep some of our most profitable businesses humming.
