The Last Mile

£0.00

Shipping a parcel across an ocean is cheap. Getting it the last few hundred metres to your door isn't. This book is about why, and how solving that problem badly, again and again, has quietly reshaped high streets, employment law, van traffic and even the way addresses work.

Free delivery, fifteen-minute groceries, route software that hates right turns, parcel lockers, drones that mostly don't deliver, and deliveries to places with no street address all get a look in. It ends with a driver's four-second note that beats the land registry for accuracy.

Where to buy: this book is sold as a Kindle ebook on Amazon, and the button takes you to its Amazon page.
