The automobile stands as the epitome of an analogue machine, representing the pinnacle of human ingenuity, allure, and harm. For well over a century, cars have served as the focal points of our perceptions of style, prestige, and desire. In terms of design, the era of combustion has been as diverse and captivating as the Baroque architectural style, while also enjoying widespread popularity. However, this era is now drawing to a close, as the internal-combustion engine is being supplanted by the battery, transforming cars into wheeled computers powered by artificial intelligence rather than oil. Accompanied by a comprehensive introduction, this book presents a collection of 60 of Stephen Bayley's renowned monthly columns, originally published in Octane, the esteemed classic car magazine. For over a decade, Bayley has been a consistent and insightful commentator on car culture, drawing upon privileged access to industry insiders.

Whether discussing the evolution of car design, the influence of automotive legends, or the nuances of car culture, Bayley's columns have consistently provided valuable insights and perspectives. This book serves as a testament to his expertise and dedication to the world of classic cars, offering a captivating glimpse into the past, present, and future of this remarkable industry.
