{"product_id":"test-drive-patrick-mcginty-9781955593007","title":"Test Drive","description":"\u003cp\u003eJanice \"Pegs\" Pegula, a mechanic and test driver at a driverless car company in 2030 Pittsburgh, does not steal from her employer. Not necessarily. She skims-a tire here, a battery there, reselling parts from the supply room to save for a higher, drier apartment. Surge season is about to hit, bringing with it hurricane-like winds, public protests for better surge pay, and desperate modifications to driverless prototypes by companies who see the climate emergency as a final chance to prove their social purpose. Dodging delivery drones on her test drives and tech bros on her maintenance shifts, Pegs struggles to keep everyone happy-bosses and family, the mechanic buying her parts, and her expanding crew of fellow skimmers. When the group decides to acquire and strip a full driverless prototype, driving-and life-gets even more risky in this first fictional work to dramatize the existential crises faced by individuals working in the driverless car sector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick McGinty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1955593000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781955593007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Propeller Publishing LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.44d","brand":"Patrick McGinty","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056575803647,"sku":"9781955593007","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a12b651-2479-4e27-bacf-32b9a55dd5f4.jpg?v=1685042064","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/test-drive-patrick-mcginty-9781955593007","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
