The adopted son of a mulatto coffee merchant and a Jewish heiress to a rubber fortune, Wombat makes his home and living at the University of New South Zealand, where he is the Distinguished Professor of Cultural Semiotics.  Wombat states that "the reason I have become so fixated upon the culturo-literary hegemony of the machine is that it is the essential of the Foucaultlian lexicographic paradigm."  He further states: "It is impossible to discern the automotive from the libidinal, the mechanistic from the Lacanian self. So, I write about transmissions."

Wombat's "Nocturnal Transmissions: The Automatic Decline of Western Morals" was mentioned on National Public Radio staple Car Talk on November 6, 1999.
