Summary:
"A New York Times technology correspondent presents the dramatic rise and fall of
Uber
, set against the rapid upheaval in Silicon Valley during the mobile era. In June 2017, Travis Kalanick, the hard-charging CEO of
Uber
, was ousted in a boardroom coup that capped a brutal year for the transportation giant.
Uber
had catapulted to the top of the tech world yet for many came to symbolize everything wrong with Silicon Valley. In the tradition of Brad Stone's Everything Store and John Carreyrou's Bad Blood, award-winning investigative reporter Mike Isaac's
Super
Pumped
delivers a gripping account of
Uber
's rapid rise, its pitched battles with taxi unions and drivers, the company's toxic internal culture and the bare-knuckle tactics it devised to overcome obstacles in its quest for dominance. Based on hundreds of interviews with current and former
Uber
employees, along with previously unpublished documents,
Super
Pumped
is a page-turning story of ambition and deception, obscene wealth and bad behavior, that explores how blistering technological and financial innovation culminated in one of the most catastrophic twelve-month periods in American corporate history."--From publisher.
