Our continued use of the combustion engine car in the 21st century,
despite many rational arguments against it, makes it more and more
difficult to imagine that transport has a sustainable future.
Offering a sweeping transatlantic perspective, this book explains
the current obsession with automobiles by delving deep into the
motives of early car users. It provides a synthesis of our
knowledge about the emergence and persistence of the car, using a
broad range of material including novels, poems, films, and songs
to unearth the desires that shaped our present "car society."
Combining social, psychological, and structural explanations, the
author concludes that the ability of cars to convey transcendental
experience, especially for men, explains our attachment to the
vehicle.
