From the sleeve notes...
"Gridlock is when a city dies.
Killed in the name of freedom. Killed in the name of oil and
steel. Choked on carbon monoxide and strangled with a pair of
fluffy dice.
How did it come to this ? How did the ultimate freedom machine
end up paralysing us all ? How did we end up driving to our own
funeral, in somebody else's gravy train ?
Deborah and Geoffrey know, but they have transport problems of
their own, and anyway, whoever it was that murdered the city can
just as easily murder them."
