Automobility is a the regime of politics, economics, and ideology that have fostered the expensive burden of the personal car on the world. The resources utilized to sustain this are immense and the results have led to pollution, globalism, war, and social unease. This book is a collection of essays that stemmed from a conference at Keele University. For anyone interesting in looking beyond what you take to be normal - this is a must read.
