"Volatile and extraordinary ... a gonzo road trip. -- Robert Macfarlane * Guardian * It's hard not to admire these explorers. Or Garrett himself, who says he wrote part of the book on a laptop while sitting in a crane overlooking Aldgate East. -- Sukhdev Sandhu * The Financial Times * A no-nonsense, high-adrenaline, fast-twitch report that requires us to think about the city in new ways. This is a provocative challenge to received dogma. An inspiration to get out there, to go over the fence. To see with our own eyes. -- Iain Sinclair Urban exploration is... a way of renegotiating reality, transforming the moment, turning the city into a video game. Except that, in this game, you only have one life. * Evening Standard * For Garrett, physical exploration is merely the outward manifestation of a deeper philosophical inquiry. The theoretical DNA of much of his work traces back to the concept of ""psychogeography."" * GQ * [Combines] erudite references (Montesquieu, Walter Benjamin) with compelling photographs of men in hoodies in strange places. -- Rowan Moore * Observer *"
