Twenty years ago, when the devastating surge of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic shook the world with deadly blows, everything changed for humanity and its relationship with technology. It's the year 2040. The post-pandemic world is surprisingly a better world that has curiously united humanity in the spirit of sustainable living and peace. Now, when humans depend even more on technology to live beyond survival, thirteen-year-old, atypical, Deepa finds solace in the comfortable memory foam seats of an old Tesla DVT Model III smart car—a driverless family car her family simply likes to call Car.
Deepa likes to live in her own tiny world of electronics in a Tiny Town with her mother Su, father Elu, Cat the cat, and of course, Car. When things get mundane in arguably the most mundane smart town on the planet, Car becomes the family’s confidante who absorbs all their emotions but never reflects his feelings; consoles their heartbreaks in silence but never complains about his needs.
Car tries his best to keep the family safe throughout this seven-day journey to self-discovery, trust, and hope. But what should he do if his only friend Deepa wants him to fly with her to Mars, to save him from an impending doom?
How about Car’s feelings? How about his constantly exhausted battery? And how about his Free Speech? After all, Car isn’t just a car!

Paperback. Etat : Good. Robens, Spencer (illustrateur). Juan Stam was someone of outstanding academic credentials, a deep, personal faith in Jesus Christ and equally committed to an evangelisation that transformed not only personal lives but also permeated and demanded the transformation of social structures. Rooted in evangelical faith, Stam's early commitment to an incarnational approach to mission drove him to pursue further studies at the Universidad de Costa Rica, in literature and philosophy, and doctoral studies under Barth and Cullmann in Switzerland, and post-doctoral studies in Germany under K ng and Moltmann. Stam considered himself a radical evangelical, driven constantly to the roots of his faith in Biblical teaching. Probably the two farthest reaching of his works are this current volume and his massive four-volume commentary on Revelation. He wrote in constant dialogue with both biblical passages and a social analysis, applying his reflection to an evangelical vision for the transformation of Latin America's diverse contexts.
