Super Pumped

The Battle for Uber

Mike Isaac

A cautionary tale of ambition, deception, and the perils of startup culture in Silicon Valley. This page-turning account follows the rise and fall of Uber, the transportation giant that promised to revolutionize the way we move people and goods through the world, only to become a symbol of everything wrong with the tech industry. Packed with insider information and previously unpublished documents, Super Pumped examines the toxic internal culture and bare-knuckle tactics of Uber, and how blind worship of startup founders can go horribly wrong. A vivid example of how massive wealth, rapid upheaval, and unchecked power can lead to catastrophic consequences in American corporate history.

One of the juiciest books I read this summer was @MikeIsaac's book about UBER: "Super Pumped." It's out on 9/3 & you won't regret buying it. It's sooo good! Thought I knew a lot about UBER before reading, but was blown away by the details in his book!      source
