Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance by Robert M Pirsig

'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance follows a father and son on a motorcycle trip from Minnesota to California, interweaving a journey narrative with philosophical discussions called "Chautauquas" about the nature of Quality, technology, and the contrasting "classic" and "romantic" approaches to life. The narrator's internal struggle to reconcile his past self, Phaedrus — a brilliant intellectual who suffered a breakdown over his obsession with Quality — with his present self forms the core of the story, leading to a profound reconciliation and a new understanding of how to integrate technology, science, and human values.'
