I've only read three of his books. The first was Neverending. The next two I didn't really like. But, the ideas were clever. His Doctor Who episode was a gift to the fans. Nice that he likes to actually explore too, rather than just write about it.

Modernity is rarely associated with ruins. In our everyday comprehension ruins rather bring to mind ancient and enchanted monumental structures; an archaeological dream world featuring celebrities such as Machu Picchu, Pompeii and Angkor Wat. Yet never have so many ruins been produced; so many things been victimized and made redundant, so many sites been abandoned. Closed shopping malls, abandoned military sites, industrial wastelands, derelict mining towns, empty apartment houses, withering capitalist and communist monuments. A ghostly world of decaying modern debris mostly left out of academic concerns and conventional histories - and also considered too recent, too grim and repulsive to be embraced as heritage. Though the situation of neglect may be claimed to have changed, as reflected in the growing field of the archaeology of the contemporary past, in the broader popular, artistic and scholarly interest in decay and ruination, and lately even in heritage discourses, modern ruins still play a very marginal role in the political economy of both the past and the present.

I was impressed. I've wanted to travel to Russia and see it for myself since I was a kid.

It is very impressive. I also want to travel to Russia -we had a female history teacher at school who had been several times (on her own, in the 60s, quite the eccentric) and she imbued us ignoramuses with a love of the country :) I went on to study Russian Studies at uni ..just the history and literature, not the language

Not technically urban exploration, but I like to see what happens to the urban abandoned places as much as I like to see them before they are reclaimed.
