1. Introduction to Elon Musk
2023 by Gilad James, PhD
Elon Musk: a name that feels like it should belong to a brooding intergalactic villain but instead graces one of the most bewilderingly ambitious humans to ever stride across Earth—and, as it turns out, aim for Mars. Introduction to Elon Musk charts the absurdly improbable rise of a man who co-founded PayPal (to digitize money), Tesla (to electrify cars) and SpaceX (to casually redefine "rocket science") while also finding time to dabble in brain-computer interfaces and solar energy because, apparently, sleep is for the weak. Born in South Africa, Musk hurtled through the 90s tech boom like a caffeinated asteroid, selling Zip2 for a small fortune and then using it to fund his habit of turning science fiction into reality. Between explosions (literal and metaphorical), eyebrow-raising tweets and saving humanity in his spare time, Musk has become a maddeningly fascinating figure—equal parts visionary, eccentric and the sort of person who might accidentally invent time travel because he was bored on a Thursday.

2. Hyperloop: History and Technology Of The 1,223 Km/h Capsule That Will Revolutionise The World Of Transport
2022 by Bibop Gresta
In a world already teetering on the edge of transportational sanity, along comes the Hyperloop—a sleek, wingless, tail-less tube-shaped contraption hurtling through vacuum-sealed tunnels at a speed so mind-bogglingly fast it makes jet engines look like wheezing asthmatics on a treadmill. Hyperloop: History and Technology Of The 1,223 Km/h Capsule That Will Revolutionise The World Of Transport is the delightfully dizzying tale of how humanity decided that trains, planes and automobiles simply weren’t ludicrous enough, so we built a levitating, climate-saving, sci-fi bullet of a transport system instead. Bibop Gresta takes you through this audacious feat of engineering with the kind of enthusiasm that makes you wonder if he’s already been to the future and back—possibly twice.

3. Computational Intelligence for Sustainable Transportation and Mobility
2021 by Deepak Gupta
Imagine, if you will, a world where traffic isn’t a mind-numbing crawl but a delightful symphony of synchronized movement, orchestrated by an unseen maestro named "Computational Intelligence." That’s the world Deepak Gupta invites you to explore in Computational Intelligence for Sustainable Transportation and Mobility. This isn’t your average book about roads and vehicles; it’s a hitchhiker’s guide to a transportation future so clever it practically evolves wheels of its own. Through a series of brilliantly baffling algorithms and intelligent systems, Gupta takes you on a whirlwind journey—predicting traffic patterns before they even know they exist, optimizing everything from stoplights to how you grumble about them and contemplating the cosmic question of "Why is traffic?" With a wink at Industry 4.0 (the sort of futuristic thing Marvin the Paranoid Android would complain about), this book tackles the chaotic entropy of mobility and somehow makes it, well, sustainable. If you've ever wondered whether your commute could be a little less Vogon and a little more improbably wonderful, this might just be your ticket.

4. Electric Mobility in Public Transport—Driving Towards Cleaner Air
2021 by Krzysztof Krawiec, Sylwester Markusik, Grzegorz Sierpiński
In Electric Mobility in Public Transport—Driving Towards Cleaner Air, Krzysztof Krawiec, Sylwester Markusik and Grzegorz Sierpiński invite you to hitch a ride on the improbably electrified bus of the future—provided, of course, you’ve got the proper charging station and a passing interest in saving the planet. This is no mere guide to plugging in vehicles and crossing fingers; it’s a multidimensional romp through the absurdly complex, occasionally hair-raising world of electrified public transport. From deciphering the arcane mysteries of battery consumption to figuring out how not to short-circuit an entire power grid, this book leaves no cable unplugged. Along the way, it tackles questions you didn’t know you had: How does cybersecurity protect buses from malevolent hackers? What’s a Hyperloop and why should we care? And will autonomous electric buses have existential crises about their range? Brimming with wit and technical wizardry, this is the ultimate guide for anyone ready to zap public transport into a cleaner, greener reality—whether they’re professionals, researchers, or just tired of buses that smell like feet.
