AUTOKILL with Sam Schwartz

It's probably not the first engi-fiction book I've read, but I'm also not sure how fictional it really is.

What a delight to speak to Sam Schwartz about his book (co-authored by Cary Pepper)1, Autokill, out tomorrow, August 18th, wherever you buy books.

Buy it here!

Our conversation ranged from talking about the book, its origins, and Sam and Cary’s writing process to some truly juicy tidbits about New York City history only Sam could have woven into his answers.

I’ll also link to Streetsblog’s “exclusive excerpt” to whet your reading appetite. The full book is a quick and marvelous read that jolts between bits and pieces of Sam and Cary’s personas and reasonable traffic engineering factoids. Read on.

Really, though, our goal is to make sure we don’t end up like Christine.

And not “Cory Popper,” as I mistakenly referred to him in our chat. Mea culpa!
