Historia4 out of 5 stars 50
A pioneering exploration of four cities where East meets West and past becomes future: St. Petersburg, Shanghai, Mumbai, and Dubai. Every month, five million people move from the past to the future. Pouring into developing-world “instant cities” like Dubai and Shenzhen, these urban newcomers confront a modern world cobbled together from fragments of a West they have never seen. Do these fantastical boomtowns, where blueprints spring to life overnight on virgin land, represent the dawning of a brave new world? Or is their vaunted newness a mirage?

Pitiful, Biased Attempt at Storytelling
Revisado: 10-02-22
This was perhaps the cringiest audiobook I have listened to on audible. The author seems to offer a little but hollow ad hominem at eastern cities, completely ignoring their innovation. There is a clear pro western bias and also relative ignorance on the finer points of these four cities.
