Writer Robert Macfarlane joins the Prospect Interview to discuss writing the Earth’s underworld in his book, Underland: A Deep Time Journey. MacFarlane talks to our arts and books editor Sameer Rahim about exploring the deepest recesses of the world, mysteries of the anthropocene, and why he’s increasingly wary of the term “nature writer.”
