    Currently reading Road to Nowhere What Silicon Valley Gets Wrong about the Future of Transportation by Paris Marx. Only just finished chapter 1 which talks about the growth of cars and how the interests of capital pushed for car ownership and terrible highway design while ruining public transport and urban design.

      That book looks interesting. Yes, I already know about it, and I think I saw an interview with the author somewhere. Not sure if I’ll get it in the end, but it does look overall pretty informative.

        I’m pretty sure that essay was actually quoted in the first chapter of the book. I’ll have to check later.

        Edit: checked it and yes, the essay was quoted in the first chapter but Gorz was also quoted in two more chapters that I haven’t got to yet.
