Using interviews, data, and deep exploration of the hidden world of ports, traffic control centers, and the research labs defining our transportation future, acclaimed journalist Edward Humes breaks down the complex movements of humans, goods, and machines as never before, from increasingly car-less citizens to the distance UPS goes to deliver a leopard-printed phone case.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I definitely recommend this title to friends because of the richness in technical transportation information. Humes provides a great deal of perspective and history in all the subjects he covers. This does get a little preachy at times and doesn't really offer realistic solutions short of "tear it all down and start over."
What does Marc Cashman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I imagine he adds a little interest in areas of the book that might get bogged down in figures and statistics.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No.
Any additional comments?
A great book that i keep talking about with friends. Our conversations typically pick up where the book left off; figuring out real solutions that we can get involved in for the not-so-ideal situations the author brings up.
