In \u003ci\u003eRemote, \u003c\/i\u003e Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, the founders of Basecamp, bring new insight to the hotly debated argument. While providing a complete overview of remote work's challenges, Jason and David persuasively argue that, often, the advantages of working \"off-site\" far outweigh the drawbacks. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the past decade, the \"under one roof\" model of conducting work has been steadily declining, owing to technology that is rapidly creating virtual workspaces.
