Start -- The Auto-Stop Diaries -- Chapter 1: Getting to the Other Ride -- Chapter 2: Dividually Driven -- Chapter 3: Carporeality, Carhesia / Whereupon the Road to Erewhon -- Chapter 4: Motorised Flanerism -- Chapter 5: Guides to the Uncanny-scapes -- Chapter 6: Thumbbuddies on the Auto Ban -- Chapter 7: The 'Carthulucene' at the End of the Road - Lost in the Ruptures Not Taken -- Fine -- Waiting for Volvo.

The first English-language social science book to comprehensively explore hitchhiking in the contemporary era in the West, this volume covers a lot of ground--it goes to and fro, in an echo of the modus operandi of most hitchhiking journeys. As scarification, piercings, and tattoos move from the counter-culture to popular culture, hitchhiking has remained an activity apart. Yet, with the assistance of virtual platforms and through its ever-growing memorialisation in literature and the arts, hitchhiking persists into the 21st century, despite the many social anxieties surrounding it. The themes addressed here thus include: adventure; gender; fear and trust; freedom and existential travel; road and transport infrastructures; communities of protest and resistance; civic surveillance and risk ecologies.
