Ghost Road
Beyond the Driverless Car
For decades we have tried to build a car that will drive itself. But the driverless car is a red herring. When self-driving technology infects buses, bikes, delivery vans, and even buildings, a wild, woollier, future awaits. Ghost Road explains where we might be headed together in driverless vehicles, and the choices we must make as societies and individuals to shape that future.

Smart Cities
Big Data, Civic Hackers, and the Quest For A New Utopia
“[A] timely and necessary guide to this age of the Franken-city.”
—Daniel Brook, The New York Times Book Review
From Beijing to Boston, cities are deploying smart technology—sensors embedded in streets and subways, Wi-Fi broadcast airports and green spaces—to address the basic challenges faced by massive, interconnected metropolitan centers. Smart Cities documents this emerging futuristic landscape while considering the motivations, aspirations, and shortcomings of the key actors—entrepreneurs, mayors, philanthropists, and software developers—at work in shaping the new urban frontier.
