I worked in isolated treeplanting work camps for nine summers, and coming back from months of living in clearcuts often came with some mild culture shock.
I worked for one month in the Fort Mac oilsands, living in a work camp. Coming home from that was crazy disorienting. Industrial man camps are just removed from the social and personal structures of normal human life. It's dehumanizing, or maybe rehumanizing in an ugly way.

Finished Ducks by Kate Beaton in one sitting today (couching really).
So many people in Canada have connections to the oil patch and work camps, but only some have lived there. Beaton's book is deliberately personal and specific, but I'm glad more people can now have an additional view into how excruciatingly not-good that way of life is for people (especially but not only women).
Also, it's funny!
