Synopsis:
For Max Millien, reality was just another system to optimize. A restless mind. A gnawing hunger for control and escape. When he found chemical oblivion, he treated it like a project to perfect.
What began as engineered self-sabotage scaled into a total structural collapse, executed with ruthless precision. But logic cannot patch betrayal, and no architecture survives human chaos.
Traffic Engineer is a harrowing memoir of freefall, a six-year exile, and the methodical work of resurrection. It is the record of a man who thought he could hack his way through the dark, only to discover the most complex system he would ever rebuild from zero was himself.
About the Author: Max Millien is a software architect and founder living in the greater Boston area. After navigating a profound structural failure and a multi-year absence, he returned to the work of rebuilding; both his own life and the systems people use to record theirs. He is the founder of PureTome, an AI platform designed to help others structure and share their own complex life stories.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the US we are nearing four million road deaths since we began counting them in 1899. The numbers are getting worse in recent years, yet we continue to accept these deaths as part of doing business. There has been no examination of why we engineer roads that are literally killing us. Fixing the carnage on our roadways requires a change in mindset and a dramatic transformation of transportation. This goes for traffic engineers in particular because they are still the ones in charge of our streets.In Killed by a Traffic Engineer, civil engineering professor Wes Marshall shines a spotlight on how little science there is behind the way that our streets are engineered, which leaves safety as an afterthought. While traffic engineers are not trying to cause deliberate harm to anyone, he explains, they are guilty of creating a transportation system whose designs remain largely based on plausible, but unproven, conjecture.Thoroughly researched and compellingly written, Killed by a Traffic Engineer shows how traffic engineering "research" is outdated and unexamined (at its best) and often steered by an industry and culture considering only how to get from point A to B the fastest way possible, to the detriment of safety, quality of life, equality, and planetary health. Marshall examines our need for speed and how traffic engineers disconnected it from safety, the focus on capacity and how it influences design, blaming human error, relying on faulty data, how liability drives reporting, measuring road safety outcomes, and the education (and reeducation) of traffic engineers.Killed by a Traffic Engineer is ultimately hopeful about what is possible once we shift our thinking and demand streets engineered for the safety of people, both outside and inside of cars. It will make you look at your city and streets-and traffic engineers- in a new light and inspire you to take action. Thoroughly researched and compellingly written, Killed by a Traffic Engineer is the first book to uncover the lack of sciencebehind traffic engineering, leaving readers inspired to take action and demand streets engineered for the safety of people.
