Silicon Valley technology is transforming the way we work, and Uber is
leading the charge. An American startup that promised to deliver
entrepreneurship for the masses through its technology, Uber instead
built a new template for employment using algorithms and Internet
platforms. Upending our understanding of work in the digital age,
Uberland paints a future where any of us might be managed by a faceless
boss. The neutral language of technology masks the powerful influence
algorithms have across the New Economy. Uberland chronicles the stories
of drivers in more than twenty-five cities in the United States and
Canada over four years, shedding light on their working conditions and
providing a window into how they feel behind the wheel. The book also
explores Uber's outsized influence around the world: the billion-dollar
company is now influencing everything from debates about sexual
harassment and transportation regulations to racial equality campaigns
and labor rights initiatives. Based on award-winning technology
ethnographer Alex Rosenblat's firsthand experience of riding over 5,000
miles with Uber drivers, daily visits to online forums, and face-to-face
discussions with senior Uber employees, Uberland goes beyond the
headlines to reveal the complicated politics of popular technologies
that are manipulating both workers and consumers.
