Ebook short description
In a world where fossil fuels are fast disappearing, nostalgia for the nearly extinct internal combustion engine drives a band of carbon punks to the last place where a road trip is still possible, China. But their race to recreate the classic road story is routed at every turn by the obstacles of an oil-depleted dystopia.Extended description
In a world where fossil fuels are fast disappearing, untraveled bookworm Max Versland hitches a ride with a pair of carbon punks whose nostalgia for the nearly extinct internal combustion engine drives them to the last place where a road trip is still possible, China. But their race to recreate the classic road story is routed at every turn by the obstacles of an oil-depleted dystopia.Fusing the imaginative voyages of Jules Verne with the introspective journeys of Jack Kerouac, The Future History of Travel is a thought-provoking narrative about the end of the road and what comes next.
