520 _a"To the Ends of the Earth: A Grand Tour for the 21st Century is a richly illustrated guidebook offering an intellectual adventure like no other. A Baedeker for the 21st century, it takes the reader on a journey through a carefully curated selection of 120 places that speak to the human condition and symbolize the current state of our world. The 120 places are organized into six chapters: Paradises, Utopias, Machines, Monsters, Ruins, and Instruments. These are prefaced by a short introductory essay and a series of so-called "hyperobjects"; that is, drawings and narratives of big, overarching concepts such as "the universe," "the economy," and "the environment," which serve to provide context for the tour's destinations"--
