Summary

Floating Trains explores the revolutionary potential of hover technology, specifically magnetic levitation (Maglev), in transforming rail transportation. It delves into the science and engineering behind trains that float above the tracks, eliminating friction and enabling unprecedented speeds.

 
Examining both Electromagnetic Suspension (EMS) and Electrodynamic Suspension (EDS) systems, the book highlights how Maglev could offer faster, more energy-efficient, and sustainable alternatives to conventional rail. One intriguing fact is that Maglev trains can reach speeds exceeding 300 mph, significantly reducing travel times.

 
The book progresses from a historical overview of rail technology to a detailed examination of Maglev principles, engineering challenges, and existing systems like the Shanghai Transrapid. It analyzes the economic feasibility and potential social impacts of widespread Maglev adoption, including the high initial costs and environmental considerations.

 
By bridging theoretical physics with practical engineering and economic realities, Floating Trains offers a comprehensive understanding of this cutting-edge transportation technology and its potential to reshape the future of high-speed rail.

    How should we "fix" digital technologies to support democracy instead of undermining it? In Designing for Democracy, Jennifer Forestal argues that accurately evaluating the democratic potential of digital spaces means studying how the built environment—a primary component of our "modern public square"—structures our activity, shapes our attitudes, and supports the kinds of relationships and behaviors democracy requires. 
 
 
 
While many scholars and practitioners are attentive to the role of design in shaping behavior, they have yet to fully engage with the question of what structures are required to support democratic communities—and how to build them. Forestal closes this gap by providing a new theory of democratic space. Drawing from a wide range of disciplines, she argues that "democratic spaces" must be designed with three environmental characteristics—boundaries, durability, and flexibility—that, taken together, afford users the ability to engage in fundamental civic practices. 
 
 
 
Through extended analyses of Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit, Forestal shows precisely how well these digital platforms meet the criteria for democratic spaces, or whether they do so at all. The result is a nuanced analysis of the democratic communities that form—or fail to emerge—in these spaces, as well as more concrete suggestions for how to improve them.
