ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig is a philosophical exploration disguised as a cross-country motorcycle trip. The narrator embarks on a journey with his son and friends, using the trip as a framework to discuss the nature of Quality and the conflict between classical and romantic understanding. The narrative interweaves personal anecdotes with philosophical inquiry, delving into the meaning of technology, the importance of care and attention, and the legacy of ancient Greek thought. The book also explores the narrator's past and his connection to a former self named Ph.D.r.u.s., whose ideas on Quality and the nature of reality drive much of the philosophical discussion. The journey is not only a physical one, but a mental and spiritual quest to reconcile the rational and the experiential.
