Super Pumped
Book • 2019
In 'Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber', Mike Isaac provides a detailed narrative of Uber's history, from its founding to its initial public offering.
The book explores the company's aggressive expansion strategies, toxic internal culture, and the scandals that led to Travis Kalanick's ousting as CEO. It serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of unchecked ambition and the consequences of prioritizing growth over ethics.
