[Introduction to Contents]
When humans disappear, nature recovers and recreates -
This is not a dark tourism or a derelict hobby, but an "environmental man's document" of a new era.
It is not a Sunday Times Bestseller / Sir John Barrow, 1st Baronet's Award winner / Royal Society of Letters Ondache Award finalist. It is highly praised from various quarters!
Buffer zones of war, former areas of industrial decline, areas of radioactive contamination, disaster sites. The lands abandoned by humans were in fact reset lands and transformed into a new environment and a rich place unlike any other area on the earth.
It is an ambitious work that goes on the cutting edge of environmental human literature in the post-human-centered era.
"I spent two years traveling through the worst places in the world. It is a scene of war, nuclear meltdown, natural disasters, desertification, poisoning, radioactive contamination, and economic collapse. This book, which lists the worst places in the world one after another, may be called a book of darkness. But in fact, this book is a book of salvation. when one place seems to have changed so much that all hope has been cut off."
