By Ted Conover"From National Book Critics Circle Award winner Conover,... a long view of global trade, empire building, cultural collapse, disease vectors and all the other things that come with the installation of a road. Even as the country fills with ever-wider highways,by some estimates, an area the size of Ohio is now given over to road asphalt, and the level of climate-changing particulates rises, other countries are rushing to add to their inventory of highways, especially aspiring China (which is "on course to equal us in cars" by about 2025) and India."
