  WINNER OF THE 2022 WRITERS’ TRUST BALSILLIE PRIZE FOR PUBLIC POLICY
  		 
  Is the ‘smart city’ the utopia we’ve been waiting for?
  		 
  The promise of the so-called smart city has been at the forefront of urban planning and development since the early 2010s, and the tech industry that supplies smart city software and hardware is now worth hundreds of billions a year.
  		 
  But the ideas and approaches underpinning smart city tech raise tough and important questions about the future of urban communities, surveillance, automation, and public participation. The smart city era, moreover, belongs firmly in a longer historical narrative about cities — one defined by utopian ideologies, architectural visions, and technological fantasies.
  		 
  Smart streetlights, water and air quality tracking, autonomous vehicles: with examples from all over the world, including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Portland, and Chicago, Dream States unpacks the world of smart city tech, but also situates this important shift in city-building into a broader story about why we still dream about perfect places.
  		 
  “John Lorinc’s incisive analysis in Dream States reminds us that the search for urban utopia is not new. Throughout the book, Lorinc underscores the fact that a gamut of urban innovations – from smart city megaprojects to e-government to pandemic preparedness tools – only provide promise when scrutinized together with the political, economic, social, and physical complexities of urban life.” – Shauna Brail, University of Toronto
  		 
  “Dream States: Smart Cities, Technology, and the Pursuit of Urban Utopias takes us on a fascinating journey across world cities to show how technology has shaped them in the past and how smart city technology will reshape them in the future. This book is essential reading for policy makers, researchers, and practitioners interested in understanding the opportunities and challenges of smart city technology and what it means for city building.” – Enid Slack, University of Toronto School of Cities
  		 
  “Utopia may be the oldest grift in the city-building business, but Dream States shows that technology is a timeless tool for turning the most ordinary of urban dreams – clean air and water, safe streets, and decent homes – into reality. As digital dilettantes try to sell us on a software overhaul, John Lorinc provides us an indispensable and flawless guide to the must-haves and never-agains of the smart city.” – Anthony Townsend, Urbanist in Residence, Cornell Tech, author of Smart Cities

  Smart Trader: The Psychology and...

  Trading is often painted as a world of numbers, algorithms, and quick decisions. But behind the charts and tickers lies something much deeper—the mind of the trader. I have written The Smart Trader to explore this often overlooked aspect of trading, where psychology, discipline, and emotion meet strategy, risk, and execution. 
  Over the years, I’ve met countless traders who knew all the right strategies, had all the technical tools at their disposal, and yet, struggled to make consistent profits. Why? Because trading is not just about understanding the markets. It’s about understanding yourself. Success in trading is rooted in mastering your emotions, managing your impulses, and remaining disciplined through uncertainty. 
  This book is divided into two parts, each designed to guide you through this complex world. The first half focuses on the psychological principles that every trader must embrace—discipline, patience, risk management, and mindfulness. These traits are not only necessary for survival in the market but also for long-term success. 
  The second half transitions into the technical side of trading, where I explore the strategies that work in real-time intraday markets. But I won’t just be presenting these in a dry, technical manner. You’ll learn through the journeys of Bill, Elon, Steve, and Jeff—traders who each have their strengths and flaws, just like all of us. Their experiences are meant to be relatable, and through them, you’ll see how psychology and strategy blend together in the fast-paced world of derivatives and crypto trading. 
  Thank you for picking up The Smart Trader. Let’s begin the adventure.
