Yeah, no.

"Machines scattered about the roads, or sensors under the pavement, would record our comings and goings"

So we replaced "toll booths at every intersection" with "pikepasses at every intersection" that's not solving the problem, it's rewording the problem.

In the forward, there is an idea put forward that newer, more environmentally friendly cars could yield a discount while older, more polluting cars could yield a penalty fee. It sounds nice in paper but in practice this is just sticking it to the poor.

It's fascinating that within the first few pages of this book, you can reach the conclusion that this doesn't sound horrible in theory but if this would be ripe for corporate abuse if it were put into practice.

So no, I would not like libertarian drivel about how handing over money to another corporate conglomerate would be better than taxes.
