The Tao Te Ching or Dao De Ching is traditionally divided into two parts: Chapters 1-37, the Dao Jing, and Chapters 38-81, the De Jing. The first explores the Tao itself—the hidden order beneath life. The second explores how that understanding becomes action. The Tao of Shopping follows the same path. First, we look beneath desire, value, abundance, scarcity, and the forces that make us want. Then we ask how to move through the marketplace without becoming ruled by it. There is always something to buy. There is always something within us that wants it. The Tao of Shopping lies between the two.

The novel follows Nick R. Bates, an extraterrestrial washed-up racer, the president of the World Cars and Coffee Club of Planet Vetu. In an effort to overcome his reputation as an old war horse, he travels to Earth to acquire and modify a classic Porsche 996 for a galactic racing competition and car show.
