520 "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unpublished documents, Super Pumped is a page-turning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."--|cProvided by publisher
