`The automobile era is giving way to a new form of networked mobility, driven by digital technology but involving everything from new forms of transportation and electric, driverless vehicle to bicycles and our two feet. In the engaging and important book, Rossant and Baker tell the eye-opening story of this mobility revolution and what it means for our society, our planet, and each and everyone one of us.' -Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class `Mobility is about us: enabling billions of people on the move with a new promise for freedom and choice. John Rossant and Stephen Baker tell us stories of 3D printed cars assembled by robots, accessible at your fingertips through ubiquitous apps and moving autonomously guided by networked devices. Mobility is the Killer App for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.' -Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum `How we live in cities - how we experience cities - is a direct reflection of how we move around. In fact, a city's very identity is intimately connected to transportation - from the Paris Metro and London's double-deckers and black cabs, to the freeways of Los Angeles. Hop, Skip, Go paints an extraordinary portrait of the profound revolution underway in mobility - and the dramatic impacts this will have on the 21st century city.' -Daniel Libeskind, architect
