Finished, the fascinating but ultra-depressing case studies of societal collapse; on to the success stories. Strangely, one of the success stories (surviving for 3200 years) is Tonga -which happens to be the setting of the stupendous new historical novel I'm immersed in -- The Wayfinder by Adam Johnson. A place I'd given approximate zero previous thought to --& it was an empire, an exploiter, not some garden of Eden.

Yea this is a DNF. Interesting concept but why are there 50 pages about MONTANA and in subsequent chapters the central theory of the book is buried in so much (imo) unnecessary detail. I guess when you win a Pulitzer your next books don't need to be edited? I just do not want to do another 400+ pages of this.
