When journalist Peter Hessler (Oracle Bones) started sneaking his Chinese rental car out of Beijing for ever-lengthening trips along the route of the Great Wall in 2001, he was not only embarking on a personal journey but also joining China's accelerating drive towards capitalism, consumerism, and the open road.
