Introduction

The slow bleed

From: Do Androids Dream of Electric Cars?

$1.60

The introduction of Do Androids Dream of Electric Cars? begins with a survey of positive and progressive images of public transit throughout the history of science fiction, most recently in the film Black Panther, and points out that we have a long way to go to achieve these visions. He then looks at the policy decisions we are not taking in North America to support the improvement and expansion of transit. He asserts that transit needs political commitment to thrive into the future, and that communities that invest in transit see increases in ridership. Then the author describes the purpose and structure of the book and how the information was gathered. Finally, he articulates the assumptions behind his work.
