## <a name="pre1"></a>Authors' Note

- remote work has been on the rise since 2005, though it wasn't recently put in the spotlight when <NAME> removed Yahoo's remote-work program
- interestingly, every excuse in [*Dealing with Excuses*](#ch2) got airtime during this

## <a name="pre2"></a>Introduction
- remote work is seeing increased adoption & the tech to collaborate remotely is here now
- this book aims to be the missing piece: upgrade the human mind so workers embrace freedom & productivity benefits and companies increased their access to talent (and everyone learns how to overcome the downsides)
- freedom in location is the new luxury
