Road to Nowhere by Paris Marx Summary
Overview of Road to Nowhere
In "Road to Nowhere," Paris Marx demolishes Silicon Valley's car-centric transportation fantasies. This "brutally realistic analysis" reveals how tech's mobility solutions perpetuate inequality rather than progress. What if the future we're being sold is actually a high-tech return to our unsustainable past?

The Promise Machine: When Billionaires Redesign Our Streets
Picture a pin from 1939 that reads "I have seen the future." Millions of Americans wore these after visiting General Motors' Futurama exhibit at the World's Fair, marveling at gleaming highways and radio-controlled cars promised for 1960. But here's what those visitors didn't grasp: they weren't witnessing a prediction. They were being sold a product. Within decades, expressways would slice through neighborhoods, pedestrians would lose their streets, and over 3.7 million Americans would die in car crashes. The corporations weren't forecasting the future-they were manufacturing it. Fast forward to today. Silicon Valley's elite are pitching their own transportation visions, and the pattern feels uncomfortably familiar. Elon Musk promises salvation through electric cars and underground tunnels. Travis Kalanick imagines fleets of automated taxis. Google's founders dream of autonomous pods gliding through cities. Like that 1939 World's Fair, these visions are polished, seductive, and fundamentally flawed. They're not solving our transportation crisis-they're repackaging it with a tech-friendly aesthetic while deepening the same inequities that car culture created a century ago.
