once again it’s how a hack sci-fi author sees the world.

“Oh look subways are expensive to build! what if they just turned the crank on the drill faster?”
“Actually the drilling itself is basically a solved problem. it’s the cost of labor, including complex chains of suppliers, contractors, union issues, and work stoppages. The cost of building the large caverns that make stations, and the reinforcement. The air flow and smaller tunnels. The complex and expensive legal issues surrounding the enterprise, including land rights, risk apportionment, and liability for damage during construction and after an event that damages surface structures.”
“MAKE THE DRILL FASTER”

I don't even like Chevys and this car looks a million times better than Model S.
