About This Book

Super Pumped chronicles the dramatic rise and fall of Uber under its co-founder and former CEO Travis Kalanick. New York Times journalist Mike Isaac details the company's aggressive tactics, toxic internal culture, and the eventual boardroom coup that led to Kalanick’s ousting. The narrative examines the broader implications of Silicon Valley’s growth-at-all-costs mindset and its impact on the modern gig economy.
