3.5/5. Feels very much like a riff on Judith Schalansky's Atlas of Remote Islands: Fifty Islands I Have Never Set Foot On and Never Will. Which is in no way a bad influence, and in fact I picked it up because someone said anyone who liked Schalansky's book will like this. And I do, for the most part; it ought to be a solid 4 with its mix of stories about the people who built, kept, and were saved (or not) by them, and the way it takes you around some of the remotest areas on the planet.
There's just a little something missing for me. The personal connection from Schalansky's book, the dreaming. Macías, at the end of it all, seems pretty content to never get to go to these places, and who could blame him, really.
