Better Living Through Massive Infrastructure Spending
This is a highly entertaining look into the future from post-war America. A couple humorous takeaways: 1. Radiant Heat will keep the highways dry- Think of the energy required for that! 2. Atomic powered tunnel machines will bore through mountains- That sounds a bit dangerous.
Many of the predictions have actually come true: 1. Backup Cameras 2. Navigation screens/guidance 3. Shipping containers- These appear to have been a new technology in the mid-50's 4. Obesity- Although they didn't come out and say it, citizens of the future lived a sloth-like existence where they only needed to walk from the house to the moving walkway or car.
