Liam Tung<\/strong> is an Australian freelance writer who\u2019s indebted to the Internet. He began working from home in Sweden, way before Covid-19 made everyone else do it. Writing on the web about the internet \u2014 the networks, devices, people and cultures that make it up \u2014\u00a0 saved him from destitution while living abroad in Sweden, then in Spain and now in Paris. Back in the 1990s, he also earned a Bachelor of Economics and Arts at Sydney\u2019s Macquarie University.

His most memorable paycheck: <\/strong>My first paycheck was from a McDonald\u2019s restaurant in western Sydney. I made about 8 Australian dollars per hour. The payslip was about three lines long and included my name, tax file number and, most importantly, what I earned for 12 hours work in the week and an extra few hours at a higher Saturday rate. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
