Non-Fiction that Changed Us, featuring Carmageddon by Daniel Knowles • Episode #173

At a time in which digital information is increasingly uncertain it feels more essential than ever to engage with books that tell us about the world, diversify our perspectives and propose solutions for change. Yet with the best will in the world these ‘serious’ books aren’t always what we feel like reading. We have the solution! A handpicked selection of non-fiction reads so good you’ll fly through them as if you were reading a favourite novel, but with the huge benefit that you’ll come out wiser and full of new information about the world we live in, and how to change it for the better.

Our featured title this episode is Carmageddon: How Cars Make Life Worse and What To Do About It by Daniel Knowles, a persuasive book that advocates for a world in which we rely on cars far less than we do currently. It was one of contributor Phil Chaffee’s books of the year and we’re meeting the author to hear more. That plus all our recommendations for our favourite non-fiction reads.

With Kate Slotover, Phil Chaffee and Daniel Knowles
