Se ignoriamo cosa sia un maniscalco – il gommista moderno – lo cerchiamo online con un motore di ricerca, ma sappiamo che domani le auto si guideranno e ripareranno da sole e che quel lavoro, come molti altri, potrebbe non esistere più.

Sound interesting? The author thinks so too! Listen to Hershey Bars and Werewolves.
