Reseña del editor:
A relatively old legacy of the twentieth century, the motel thus foreshadowed, unbeknownst to itself, a new type of urban existence. With it was born the society of permanent mobilitiy and perpetual transit, a world of freeways and gas stations, traveling salesmen and massive seasonal migrations, outsourcing and spatial homogenizing, constant and reflexive house-moving; in short the itch to move.
