Paris holds a Master's degree in Geography and will be talking to us about their new book, “Road to Nowhere: What Silicon Valley Gets Wrong about the Future of Transportation”. This book explores the history of transportation and the current problems with tech in transport, with a focus on Silicon Valley and their visions of the future. Topics: history of cars; history of taxis; why Silicon Valley struggles to meet the needs of the general public; how to argue with an Elon Musk apologist; better solutions for the future.
