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

informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

I really enjoyed this!! A splendid audiobook that felt like a prolonged episode or season of one of my favourite historical non-fiction podcasts. I do however wish there was just a TEENSY bit more info about the cities themselves, but then again Annalee is a journalist by trade and not a historian so I'm not too miffed. Overall, a really fascinating read into what makes a society crumble and how it's never really an overnight thing. Which is also scary because history and time really are just one big circle.
