I am a passenger in a fast car, with fast friends, speeding through the unfamiliar landscape of the Adelaide Hills. This a peak experience. My mind senses the fleeting landmarks and milestones and is brought to mind of other peaks. Peak oil, i.e., Hubbert’s Peak, came and went in the 1970s (and again in 2018). Peak liveability, per the 1972 book, The Limits to Growth, passed in 2008. Marinetti could not have envisioned a more dystopian vision of the future “peaking out” from beneath his overturned sports car. The way forward was sketched by another Italian, Carlo Petrini: “live slow and create things”.
