Nomad Earth Catalog is an independent editorial publisher and media cooperative exploring critical mobility and alternative ways of living.
We write for the slow, the seeking, and the system-questioning. For those imagining and enacting ways of living otherwise.
We offer language, images, and frameworks for those quietly departing the default: those seeking to live, move, and create beyond extraction, optimization, and spectacle.
We gather what dominant culture dismisses as impractical, impossible, or unprofitable, and insist on its worth.
Our publications offer different ways to see, to traverse, and to relate. Together they form a sort of counter-curriculum.
Delights
Nomad Earth Catalog is fueled by what delights and stirs us.
We are drawn to mountains, wildflowers, rivers.
Homegrown fruit. Folk music. Thermal bathing.
Geodesic domes. Utopian blueprints. Intentional communities.
Social ecology. Systems thinking. Critical theory.
Worker-owned co-ops. Direct democracy. Conviviality.
Solarpunk. Pataphysics. Literary fiction.
Seed swaps. Anarchist archives. Solar showers.
Hand-bound books. Clay mugs. Shared playlists.
Feminist servers. Street art. Friendship.
Pluriversal imaginaries. Liberatory technologies. Dissent.
These are frequencies, embers, traces of the world we’re trying to build.
They remind us that the smallest details—a page, a plum, a place to pause—can be part of larger refusals, deeper solidarities, and more livable futures.
Futurecasting
We hope to evolve into a outlet that more rigorously engages with the social urgencies of our time.
We dream of future formats that blur genre and resist legibility. Of publishing as world-building. Of stories that shape not just what we know, but how we live.
Future NEC is part radical media cooperative, part free school, and part weather station for cultural memory.
We assemble spaces for experimental thinkers and makers.
We produce critical and investigative documentaries on climate, migration, labor—places where lives shift and systems fail.
We are an archive, a lexicon, a long walk.
A slow-burning conversation. A lighthouse. A place to find the language you didn’t know you were looking for.
We’re here to seed futures, and we hope you are too.
