Super Pumped

The Battle for Uber

Mike Isaac chronicles Uber's growth from a startup into a global ride-hailing company and the internal conflicts that accompanied its expansion. The book centers on Travis Kalanick, Uber's cofounder and chief executive, and examines the company's culture, regulatory battles, treatment of drivers and competitors, and investor relations. It follows the events leading to Kalanick's removal in 2017 and places Uber's turmoil within the broader transformation of Silicon Valley during the mobile-app era.
