Visage mécanique

Son visage béat, où se mêlaient tant de mécaniques, me fit prendre conscience qu'en accordant une place si importante aux machines sur nos vies, nous nous étions éloignés de nous même.
Comme étourdi par une violente gifle, je tentais de garder le contrôle de mes pensées, horrifié par le constat, soudain évident, que notre espèce, en s'appuyant sur tant de béquilles pour atteindre des rêves, était perdue.

Mechanical face

Her blissful face, where so many mechanics were twisted, made me realise that by according such an important place to machines in our lives, we had drifted away from oursleves.
Stunned, like if I had been kicked in the face, I was trying to keep control on my thoughts, horrified with the suddenly obvious observation, that our specie, by relying on so many crutches to reach dreams, was lost.

For a Christmas present, I'm looking for a book on #ElectricVehicles for my 16-year-old nephew. It needs to be an introductory/beginner level for someone who aspires to being a hands-on #EV #mechanic. He's very mechanically-minded and practical, with an interest in #electrical and #electronic systems (maybe towards robotics) but isn't expected (yet!) to get necessary grades in foundational subjects to be accepted on elecrtical/electronics courses at college.

The best I found so far is Electric Vehicle Engineering but I fear it is a bit too academic for what he needs, and it's rather expensive to buy unless I was completely sure it's right for him. Everything else I've found has been badly-written, or outdated, or very advanced, or really dry and dull.

It's a long shot, but does anyone out there have any suggestions?
