We’ve got a book review for you this week. Konrad Bleyer-Simon unpacks Road to Nowhere. Silicon Valley and the Future of Mobility by Paris Marx which sets out how the egoistic projects of tech billionaires such as Elon Musk have shaped our car-centred transport systems and what a vision centred around the needs of ordinary people would look like.

Written by Konrad Bleyer-Simon.

Read by Julia Lagoutte.
