 Book Log 2020 #52 Outpost by Dan Richards

The author travels to some of the most isolated and undeveloped areas of the planet to ask why do people travel to (and stay) in such locations, and what is the value of keeping these places in the wild? There's a special emphasis here on isolation and the creative process, with a couple of the trips following in the steps of Jack Kerouac and Roald Dahl.

I did like this book, but admit to getting some fatigue by the end. Not sure why, this isn't a particularly long book. Maybe I just wasn't ready for so much solitude.
