Airplane Mode: An Irreverent History of Travel by Shahnaz Habib

4.0

A little all over the place, jumping from a history of tourism, personal anecdotes as an immigrant, tourist, and person, political alliances, state formation, indentured labor, etc etc.
I thought this was very informative, especially as it was written with the personal exp of the author at the forefront, making the history digestable and applicable to the real world. I love when history is discussed this way, as memoir. I think the overall structure of the book couldve been a bit more explicit in how it organized its narrative, but the content itself was well deliver. The transitions between them were just a bit jarring and hard to follow at first
