Four Lost Cities: A Secret History of the Urban Age by Annalee Newitz

informative medium-paced

3.5

The subject matter intrigued me greatly but it was not as profound as I would've liked. It felt misleading that these cities were lost - they were certainly abandoned or destroyed but I did not feel like the way they were framed served the author's thesis statement. I wish each city had more introduction to it and that I wasn't fully floundering to place where it was and when it existed in context of the rest of the world. Overall through it was interesting and held my attention.
