Carapace - the Motor Car in New Zealand : a Roadside View by M. H. Holcroft

Scarcely anybody now asks if motor cars are really necessary, but a few people still mange to live without owning or driving them. Monte Holcroft admits that this apartness can be a form of second-class citizenship. But he is not sure that a first-class life (or what is taken to be one in our mobile society) is worth having. He has been thinking about motor cars, and what they are doing to us - as well as for us - since he wrote a chapter on the subject in his prize-winning essay, The Deepening Stream, published in 1940. The motoring revolution had not then begun the giant acceleration which has changed the world and all our lives. But changes and problems were beginning to show themselves. Holcroft now looks at New Zealand in what he sees as the climax of the motoring age.
