It says something about the present age that there's been a profusion of designs targeted at modern hobos: A jacket that converts into a tent; a rolling hobo shelter; inflatable mobile homes. American preeminence is fading, China is in the rise, the economy feels like a roiling sea, and environmental apocalypse is near. It just seems so appealing to liquidate the 401K, flip the working world the bird, and say, "You can take your daily grind and shove it. I'm taking to the road, man. With nothing but my dog and my MacBook Pro."
