Why you won’t get a flying car

A review of “Where is My Flying Car?”, by J. Storrs Hall, and some other thoughts on the future of technology.

Why you won’t get a flying car

In J. Storrs Hall's book Where Is My Flying Car?, the author explores why we haven't achieved flying cars, cold fusion, nanotechnology, or nuclear power. Hall attributes the lack of progress to factors such as overregulation, scientific groupthink, inadequate funding mechanisms, and cultural aversion. He argues that these factors have prevented the realization of these technologies and could potentially hinder their realization in the future.
