Exploring the Great Basin, a vast and largely uncharted desert in the West, the narrative delves into its disorienting landscapes that challenge human perception. The book is divided into three sections: "The Void" examines the overwhelming emptiness of the region, "The Grid" traces the evolution of cartography and human exploration, and "The Sign" reflects on the cultural narratives and metaphors associated with this unique terrain. Through captivating prose, it reveals the interplay between ancient history and modern civilization in this enigmatic expanse.
