| Summary |
"Pegasus: problems of transportation" by Colonel J. F. C. Fuller is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the evolution of transportation, particularly focusing on new forms of movement that do not rely on existing road infrastructures. Fuller's work emphasizes the importance of movement in civilization and the potential of roadless vehicles for economic growth and addressing issues like overpopulation. In this work, Fuller examines the history of transportation, particularly the impact of the railway, and argues for the significance of developing roadless vehicles, which could revolutionize transport in underdeveloped areas. He discusses various historical figures and innovations related to transportation, including George Stephenson and his contributions to rail travel. The author posits that the future demands solutions to the pressing problems of overpopulation and unemployment, and he believes that roadless vehicles can mitigate these challenges by facilitating movement in areas without adequate roads, thereby increasing economic prosperity and efficiency. Through a combination of historical analysis and forward-looking insights, Fuller outlines the crucial relationship between movement and progress in society.
