Where Is My Flying Car?

Bit of a slog but there are some techno-optimist gems

Bouke van der Bijl

An enjoyable exploration of the history of aviation, that goes into why we don't all have flying cars and why the amount of energy each of us has access to has stagnated over the past 50 years. I like that you can read the frustration of the author through the text—why isn't the present like the future we were promised!

I'm not sure I'd want to live in a city like it's painted in the book though—the sound of thousands of flying machines would be ear-deafening.

Great stuff. Learned a lot more than expected but also felt very overwhelmed by all the technicalities for airplanes and jet engines and the like. At times hard and challenging to read, most the of the times fascinating and inspiring even if I, from a sociological standpoint, disagree with quite a bit.
