WE ALL DESERVE TO BE FREE
Once upon a time, we were free to go wherever we chose. It wasn't so long ago. The history of humanity, is a tale of constant motion.
People are supposed to move about. We have imaginations which encourage us to dream about life in other places, bodies which are built to roam, and hands which can make an array of vehicles. A few of us even possess the "Wanderlust Gene", which encourages us to take risks ? to sail across unchartered oceans, and launch ourselves towards faraway planets.
Some of us are forced to relocate. Lots of us choose to migrate. A few of us belong to nomadic communities.
But if one thing is clear, it's that mobility improves our societies. Emigrants send back billions in remittances ? helping to reduce poverty, and inspiring their peers to upskill. Immigrants do the work that their hosts are unwilling or unable to perform. They sustain economies which have ageing populations. They establish industries, invent products, create jobs, increase wages, fuel growth, pay taxes, and enrich our cultures ? enhancing our music, arts, sports, languages and cuisine.
It's time to celebrate movement! It's time to demand our freedom! It's time for open borders!
This book explains why ? making the historical, scientific, economic, cultural, political and philosophical cases for free movement.

Person
Joss Sheldon is a scruffy nomad, unchained free-thinker, and post-modernist radical. Born in 1982, he was raised in one of the anonymous suburbs that wrap themselves around London's beating heart. Then he escaped! With a degree from the London School of Economics to his name, Sheldon had spells selling falafel at music festivals, being a ski-bum, and failing to turn the English Midlands into a haven of rugby league. Then, in 2013, he stumbled upon McLeod Ganj; an Indian village which is home to thousands of angry monkeys, hundreds of Tibetan refugees, and the Dalai Lama himself. It was there that Sheldon wrote his debut novel, 'Involution & Evolution'. Eleven years down the line, he's penned eight titles in total, including two works of non-fiction: "DEMOCRACY: A User's Guide", and his latest release, "FREEDOM: The Case For Open Borders".
