PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Paris Marx is a technology writer. They have written frequently in, amongst others, NBC News, CBC News, Jacobin, Tribune, and OneZero, and speak internationally on the future of transport. They are also a PhD student at the University of Auckland and the host of the critical technology podcast 'Tech Won't Save Us'.
The last decade has been a trainwreck for Silicon Valley's dreams of mobility. Paris Marx's invaluable new book explains how and why big tech's utopian transit projects crashed and burned, why these disasters will keep finding funding if they are not opposed, and what the alternative might look like. The path to a better, more equitable future of transit begins with the Road to Nowhere. -- Brian Merchant, author of <i>The One Device</i> A lively summary of the ways Big Tech has distracted us from the urgent task of making our cities work for everyone. -- Jarrett Walker, author of <i>Human Transit</i> An astute and engaging critique of Silicon Valley's visions for transportation, Marx highlights the problems of technology being driven by the needs of capital and crafts a compelling vision of a world where technology is instead used to deliver social good -- Wendy Liu, author of <i>Abolish Silicon Valley</i> Draws a compelling picture of the evolution of the Western vision of mobility. -- Konrad Bleyer-Simon * Green European Journal * Road to Nowhere pulls the mind of the reader towards the myriad of possibilities that come into view if we think of our world without the car...a useful compendium not just of the follies of Silicon Valley in respect of transportation, but also the price we pay when these costs are socialised. -- Lizzie O'Shea * Overland *
