Samenvatting:

Elon Musk and the masters of Silicon Valley want us to believe technology can revolutionize our cities and means of transport. Road to Nowhere exposes the paucity of their vision, a distracting fantasy that will only delay the collective solutions already known to be effective. Technological responses to social problems and the people behind these barren ideas must be challenged if our cities and transportation systems are to serve the public good.

Paris Marx offers a plan for an innovative transportation system to meet the needs of the poor, the marginalized, and the vulnerable - as well as those of everybody else. Road to Nowhere argues that rethinking transport could be the first step in a broader reimagining of our social, economic, and political systems, which ought to be structured around the many, not the few.
