Four Lost Cities: A Secret History of the Urban Age by Annalee Newitz
4.0
Fascinating and I learned a lot!
I almost wish the epilogue, where the author extrapolates about the future of cities based on the lessons of these four “lost” cities, was a bigger part of the book.
But as it is this is a very well-researched exploration of what brings humans together to make cities and what causes them to fade.
