Time Machines & Automatons: A Brief History of Clockwork Powered Motorcarriages (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798997853617)

Part text book, part science fiction novel; explore an epigrammatic & factual historic origin of clockwork in the Black Forest of Germany, followed by a concise, true history of early automobiles and the global struggle for power. Then, launch into a theoretical exploration of "motores a Molla" (spring motors) in pursuit of automaton transportation before immersing yourself in a sprawling alternate history where clockwork driven vehicles changed the world. Written with sharp, sarcastic wit and the distinct randomness of the AUTODODO style, this brief but historical epic is unapologetically littered with modern pop-culture references that have absolutely no rightful place being there.
