Have others read or listened to Robert MacFarlane's nonfiction book, Underland? I am listening for the 2nd time via audible. He explores so many aspects of the worlds beneath the surface. Mining, catacombs, caves, fungi, burial grounds, undergoround cities, nuclear waste, oceans, darkness, research into darkmatter are all explored with brilliant illuminating language and a fascinating and varied array of people. All of which for me  has the effect of a coherent resensitizing to the mystery of living on the thin living surface of a planet. 
 2nd time around is better than the first.The man can write.

A very Pynchonian topic I thought.
