A review by nothingforpomegranted
An Atlas of Extinct Countries by Gideon Defoe

2.0

I was expecting this to be informative and a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it ended up being a book that didn’t take anything seriously at all. The entire thing seemed like a joke or a satire, and I was disappointed because the concept actually sounds incredibly interesting! I would love to read an accessible academic history of many of these places, and instead what I got was a lame comedy special.
