The article presents selected threads of poststructuralist discourses, such as posthumanism and post-anarchism, to point out the affirmative understanding of the changes in human subjectivity and identity within the networked reality of transnational capitalism. The starting point for the argument presented in the text is Rosi Braidotti’s concept of the nomadic subject, functioning in a post-anthropocentric world inhabited by non-anthropic consciousness and anthropotechnical hybrids. The identity of such a nomadic subject is variable, flexible, and queer. The strategies of digital nomads, avoiding permanent points/places, and thus eluding essentialism, are presented as liberatory strategies of resistance.
