Ecomobilities examines the ideological connections between automobiles, the environment, and the end of the world, focusing on the car's inseparability from modern life. Through popular films addressing both mobilities and environmental disasters, Ecomobilities reveals how American automobility has influenced responses to warming temperatures and shifting ecosystems.

Industry Reviews

Michael W. Pesses uses critical theory and a variety of films-from The Matrix to Mad Max to Pee Wee's Big Adventure-to help readers make sense of the impenetrable fog created by our ideology surrounding car-dependency. This book is a valuable read for anyone seeking a joyful yet critical look at contemporary American car culture and our challenged response to climate change.
