Blending travel narrative with philosophical inquiry, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig is a groundbreaking philosophical road trip novel that explores the metaphysics of quality, self-discovery, and the tension between rationality and romanticism. Following a father and son on a cross-country motorcycle journey, Pirsig uses the trip as a framework to introduce profound meditations on technology, values, and the search for meaning in modern life. Revered as both a memoir and a philosophical treatise, this influential work continues to resonate with readers drawn to introspective, intellectually rich literature.
