A few of the places he wrote about were interesting, but its obvious he was attempting to assign a meaning to the concept of place as a way to give life meaning. He harped on and on about climate change—and 10 years after the book was written its obvious his predictions were unfounded—approved of any woke place, and disapproved of any place based on religion, faith, or conservative values. In other words, rejecting the meaning of life based on God, he embraces a false meaning based on place. Just another false religion/philosophy.
