“Moving nimbly from the moon to Mars, from the depths of the Atlantic to a nuclear reactor, Stewart Lawrence Sinclair artfully traces a history of amazing mechanical rovers through the Cold War, the Chernobyl disaster, the 9/11 attack, and his own upbringing near NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Instigated by the discovery of old photos after a devastating wildfire, Space Rover clears an astutely unpredictable and philosophical path from Sinclair's boyhood in Southern California through a rich cultural history of mechanical wanderers. Space Rover is an auspicious call for – and at times, a solemn caution against – wandering. What a thought-provoking exploration of the purposeful meandering that humans and their mechanized, roving proxies do!” ―Anna Leahy, Professor of English and Director of MFA in Creative Writing, Chapman University, USA, and author of Tumor (Bloomsbury, 2017)
