Part text book, part science fiction novel; explore an epigrammatic & factual historic origin of clockwork in the Black Forrest of Germany. Followed by a true & concise history of early automobiles throughout the world and the struggle to decide their source of power. Launch into a theoretical exploration of "motores a Molla" (spring motors) and clockwork in pursuit of automaton transportation. Finally, be immersed in an alternate history of clockwork driven vehicles, their impact, and a world that could have been. Written with sharp, sarcastic whit and the randomness of the AUTODODO style. Littered with modern references that have no rightly place in a brief but historical epic.
