About the Author
Matthew B. Crawford is a philosopher, mechanic, and writer whose work bridges the intellectual and the practical, exploring how hands-on engagement with the world fosters human flourishing in an increasingly automated age. With a PhD in political philosophy from the University of Chicago, he has taught at institutions including the University of Virginia and authored insightful books that challenge modern assumptions about technology, labor, and freedom. Drawing from his experience restoring vintage motorcycles and driving on the open road, Crawford's writing celebrates the virtues of autonomy, skill, and sensory experience amid the encroachment of algorithms and self-driving cars. His provocative ideas resonate with readers seeking meaning beyond the digital veil, advocating for a life of deliberate, embodied action.
