Title: Autopia
Description: "Autopia is not written by car buffs or technical enthusiasts - it consists of over 25 newly commissioned essays, as well as a number of reprinted key texts, by writers, critics, historians, artists and film-makers, all of whom share a critical concern with the consequences of a century of driving. In Autopia the car is treated not as a technological fetish object nor as an instrument of danger. Instead it is examined as a hugely important determinant of twentieth-century culture, neither wholly good nor an unmitigated disaster, but certainly endlessly fascinating."--Jacket.
