Over six years, Zed Nelson explores humanity's immersion in simulated environments across four continents, highlighting our denial and disconnection from nature. His work spans theme parks, zoos, museums, national parks, African safaris, and alpine resorts, illustrating a global phenomenon. The book sheds light on The Anthropocene epoch, defined by human impact on Earth, and our shift from natural habitats to urban centers. Nelson captures the irony of society's yearning for nature amidst its destruction, revealing our inability to acknowledge the magnitude of loss while emphasizing our collective self-delusion and craving for reconnection with the natural world.
