Falling Off the Map: Some Lonely Places of the World by Pico Iyer is a collection of travel essays about unusual and isolated places around the world. Iyer explores countries such as Iceland, Bhutan, Argentina, Australia, Cuba, North Korea, Paraguay, and Vietnam, focusing on places that are often overlooked by ordinary tourists.

The author describes the people, culture, history, politics, and everyday life of these countries with humor and curiosity.
