Jalopnik loves LIFE AFTER CARS!
The book "paints a picture of a world that gives me hope.

“We don’t expect anybody to read this book, close it at the end and say, ‘Okay, that’s it, I’m throwing my car keys away forever,’” Gordon said. “Most Americans live in places where that’s not possible. But, we want them to at least start to understand how we got here, and there are people, places and ideas that can get us out of it.”
The Evanston Transit Alliance and Booked Evanston hosted a meet and greet with the authors of “Life After Cars” at Sketchbook Brewing Co. on Monday. The 2025 book by Sarah Goodyear, Doug Gordon and Aaron Naparstek expands upon their podcast, “The War on Cars,” examining the automobile’s social, political and environmental costs. “Life After Cars”...
