Summary
An amusing and illuminating history of the automobile, plus an allegorical dialogue on the effects of an increasingly fast pace that sets our lives "spinning" out of control. By design, this artist's book treats the car culture with scrutiny and humor through shaped and layered text in interaction with image.
