On an afternoon in January 1865, a roaring fire swept through the Smithsonian Institution. Dazed soldiers and worried citizens could only watch as the flames engulfed the museum's castle. Rare objects and valuable paintings were destroyed. The flames at the Smithsonian were not the first—and certainly would not be the last—disaster to upend a museum in the United States.

Andrew Martin goes out to meet these enthusiasts and find out just what it is about preserved railways which makes people so devoted.

Yet most organizations still rely on incomplete requirements, tribal knowledge, inconsistent terminology, and undocumented business rules. As implementation becomes automated, the real challenge is ensuring AI builds the right thing. The New Bottleneck is not a book about AI hype, prompts, or isolated use cases.
