It doesn’t take long for nature to start reclaiming abandoned places, either.
Yes, it’s human nature to want to go where we shouldn’t. I know I have often enough although I would draw the line at Chernobyl.

YouTube keeps recommending urban explorer videos of abandoned places, it’s fascinating to see how these places decay and are taken over by nature. It’s also tempting to visit the forbidden areas. You’re right, it’s appealing to be outside of society, just for a while. It was an interesting book, quite strange, which has stayed with me.

I suppose in some ways the author visiting Chernobyl might be like the dream of going to a desert island to have a break from other people and their demands.
I think most of us are fascinated by the place itself, too. I’ve watched some extraordinary videos on YouTube of Chernobyl. A home to so many people then abandoned so suddenly following an enormous disaster which is now being reclaimed by nature. Knowing that we’re watching something filmed by people who shouldn’t be there. Hard to believe the story is real, let alone the place.
