"Crandall's novel sits at the intersection of speculative fiction, technological and critical theory, and narrative/aesthetic exploration… The polyphonic capacities of novels since Woolf and Joyce and others to slip-slide and sluice between narrative perspectives and rhetorical voice suits the intricacies of the multi-causal, classically overdetermined, state of many ineluctably intertwined forces operative in the novel's various foci: human, nonhuman, technological, computational and embodied. Also it is a cracking read!"
Ryan Bishop, Professor of Global Arts and Politics, University of Southampton
Suddenly the automobile like an ancient god reasserts its agency, enchantment, and control of the everyday in this marvelously imaginative work by Jordan Crandall.

Literary treatments of A.I. are critically important in envisioning the challenges and opportunities of our human-machine futures. The narrative voice of Autodrive captures the merging of human and machine that is coming to pass, immerses reader in that transition.
Matthew Fuller, Professor of Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths University of London
Jordan Crandall has led the way for critically understanding technology in constructing representation, and in its critique, revealing not only aspects of our experiences but a fundamental shift in our sense of self.
