  • CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED: Where Is My Flying Car? has been praised by the Wall Street Journal, Discourse magazine, Quillette, and others. Discourse called it “the most important book written on technology policy in the past quarter century.”
  • PROGRESS STUDIES: Influential proponents of the progress studies movement, including Jason Crawford and Tyler Cowen, are fans of the book. They’ve praised its “bold futurism” and “refreshing” call for “unlimited progress in every dimension.”
  • INTELLECTUAL PLURALISM: J. Storrs Hall brings his career as a nanotechnologist, inventor, researcher, and computer scientist to bear, weaving a wide-ranging argument that encompasses the Great Stagnation, nuclear energy, advances in nanotechnology, and the mechanics of flying cars.
  • ENGAGED COMMUNITY: Stripe Press has a sizable community of avid fans—who run the gamut from startup founders to executives at some of the world’s largest companies—who eagerly await each new title. Many readers tweet about our books—the Stripe Press “shelfie” is a genre unto itself—as do the founders of Stripe and many Stripe employees.
