About the book

The Internet has over-filled our cups with information. If ignorance is bliss, are we still comfortable with knowing, or thinking we know so much? We’ve got plenty to take responsibility for: adverse climate, strife between nations, poverty, economic issues. Should we really be so proud of our technological accomplishments, given our limited life spans? What has happened to our relationship with the natural world? A Nervous City cruises around town and observes: it’s a watchful book -- in the first part we’re in Hamilton, mostly. In the second part, it’s our world of culture, our arts. In the last part we’re in both the historical past (Egypt, Rome, France) and also the present days of those places.
