<p>What is the meaning of "adventure" as we enter the third decade of the 21st century, after a global pandemic, social and geopolitical calamities, and accelerating environmental catastrophes? What stories are humans telling about wilderness, remote destinations, and the most difficult thoughts thinkable? </p><p><i>Adventure</i> is a pinball assortment of unexpected encounters. Each chapter entertains a specific project, fantasy, or activity that dabbles with adventure - and runs into limits. Subjects range from Mars exploration, commercial space tourism, and adventure consumerism, to the day-to-day experiences of living in a world increasingly impacted by climate change and environmental disasters. </p><p>Taking a wide-angle view - at times personal, at others theoretical - Schaberg explores our ideas about adventure and their narrative, cultural, and philosophical underpinnings.</p>
