"A Field Guide to Getting Lost"
by Rebecca Solnit
Reading history and reviews
Finished on 2nd October 2006
I thought that it would be neat to read this back to back with Ambient Findability, though in the end I didn't. It's an entirely different proposition, more like musing on what it means to be "lost" in all its meanings - to be lost and not know where you are geographically, lost like a lost possession, lost in spiritual or emotional terms (and how being "found" again can be a kind of transformation). It was a slow read but I found it interesting all the same. Deepest question: "How will you go about finding that thing the nature of which is totally unknown to you?"
