No trip planned. A couple of years ago, Alan Weisman wrote a book
titled, "The World Without Us," in which he goes through a whole
litany of hypothetical and recent events (like Chernobyl) without ever
mentioning the natural soundscape of natural sound. It was a NYT
bestseller.
In my new book I want to contrast the ways in which we culturally
disregard even mentioning the soundscape as part of the human
experience and question why the issue was never raised -- even without
humans present -- as part of Weisman's narrative.
