Produktbeschreibung
In an era marked by rapid technological advancement and ambitious visions of the future, we find ourselves at a crossroads where our cities, our vehicles, and our very ways of life are being reimagined. The concept of "smart cities" has captivated the imagination of urban planners, policymakers, and tech giants alike, promising a seamless integration of technology and daily living. Electric vehicles (EVs) are heralded as the silver bullet for our environmental woes, a symbol of progress on wheels. Yet, beneath the surface of these grand promises lies a more complicated, less discussed reality-one fraught with logistical challenges, unintended consequences, and yes, even misinformation.
Autorenporträt
John Shenton was raised in the grey dawn of postwar England, where history's echoes lingered, he set his sights on distant horizons, first answering the sea's call as a Radio Officer upon ships bound for the Persian Gulf, the Indian Ocean, and the South China seas. Yet fate's currents shift, and with hard-won degrees in hand, he turned to the workings of wire and code, traversing England, Germany, Switzerland, and Canada, each land a chapter in his ledger of experience. But beyond circuits and machines, his true craft became the study of governance, history's repeating hand, and the forces that shape nations. Now, he takes his ease, golfing, sailing, and writing, letting the winds of thought and memory guide his pen, for the journey never truly ends, it merely finds another course.
