Why We Drive is a rebellious and daring celebration of the human spirit and the competence of ordinary people, written by the bestselling author of The Case for Working with Your Hands.

Once upon a time, we were drivers on the open road. Today, we are more often in the back seat of an Uber. As we hurtle toward a self-driving future, are we destined to become passengers in our own lives too?

In Why We Drive, philosopher and mechanic Matthew Crawford celebrates the risk, skill, and freedom of driving. He reveals what we are losing to technology and government control in the modern world, and speaks up for play, dissent, and occasionally being scared witless.

This book is fascinating, a pleasure to read, and has been praised by the Sunday Times as persuasive and thought-provoking, as well as a vivid and heartfelt manifesto by the Observer.
