This review discusses the rise and nature of the ‘new popular geography', a genre exemplified by Vitali Vitaliev’s engaging new work Atlas of Geographical Curiosities. The attraction to ‘curious' places, along with remote, hidden and ‘off the map' places, is explored in the context of the growth of anxieties about surveillance and ‘placelessness’ as well as the emergence of mapping as a central social and personal technology. I also consider what such works mean for geography as an academic discipline. Over forthcoming decades, the new popular geography is well-placed to shape the meaning of geography and, hence, we must ask how academic geographers can respond and engage with this genre.
