Reading Scatter, Adapt, and Remember back to back with Four Lost Cities, @annaleen comes off as something of a luxury travel writer whose destinations just happen not to exist any more. It's as if they started with an obsessive need to understand how cities and societies fall apart… and so naturally went on a wold tour of climate scientists, historians, and archeological sites. The books are just kinda an inevitable side effect which occur naturally when a science (fact & fiction) writer and journalist tracks down a thought which they simply cannot get out of their head any other way.
@annaleen In my mind, you embarked on journeys to places which no longer exist (or haven't happened yet). The actual physical locations you had to visit in order to find those are just airport lounges and bus stations on the way there.
