Robert M. Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a philosophical novel that explores the relationship between technology, art, and human understanding through a motorcycle journey across America. Part travelogue, part philosophical investigation, the book weaves together a father-son road trip with deep inquiries into the nature of quality, rationality, and personal meaning. Pirsig challenges readers to reconsider the divide between scientific and artistic thinking.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because sometimes the most profound philosophical insights happen not in lecture halls, but on the open road. Pirsig understood that wisdom isn't about having all the answers, but about asking better questions. This book is a love letter to curiosity, to the art of paying attention, and to the unexpected ways understanding arrives when we least expect it.
