Just as hard hitting as Williams' "Whale Nation", and just as relevant now as it was 30 years ago. Both books emphasise the industrial need for lubrication and energy as driving environmental exploitation and ecological degradation.

Half the book is poetry, the other half extracts from Williams' sources of information and inspiration. Both elements are viscerally effective, as Williams doesn't shy away from the physical and psychological injuries caused by the apocalyptic holocaust of Autogeddon.

According to the surveillance device I'm writing this on, I spent 24 hours driving last month, during which I had 2 weeks' annual leave when I was fairly stationary, so typically that would be closer to 2 full days driving per month, practically a whole month behind the wheel in a year 🤯 ( )
