Review "Mike Isaacs dramatic account of the rise and fall of Uber at the hands of founder Travis Kalanick is all thriller." -- Festive Wish List: Tech Books 2019 - The Evening Standard"Travis Kalanick changed an entire industry, made billions of dollars, and made a company into a verb, and he did so by destroying anything and anyone who stepped in his way. A riveting read about bro culture gone awry." -- Nick Bilton - Vanity Fair"Mike Isaac reveals the toe-curling tale of how Travis Kalanick drove a revolutionary taxi app to global success — and the brink." -- The Sunday Times"[Isaacs] meticulously reported account of Ubers trajectory avoids the easy paths." -- Nitasha Tiku - Wired"... entertaining and well-researched book…" -- Business Book of the Year 2019 - The Sunday Times"If you want to understand modern-day Silicon Valley, you need to read this book. The tale of Uber, the queen of the so-called unicorns, is a parable about power—and the lengths to which some startup founders will go to amass it and hold onto it. Aside from being a delicious read, Mike Isaacs account is also teeming with new revelations that will shock and outrage you." -- John Carreyrou"[Isaac] spins a compelling yarn that chronicles the transit companys unruly development into… a publicly traded, billion-dollar global behemoth, often aided by spying on competitors and outwitting transportation regulators… [Super Pumped] is no dry business profile but a tale that Isaac has deeply reported yet still made accessible." -- William Nottingham - Los Angeles Times"What makes Super Pumped different, and justifies its description as a page-turner rather than a dry corporate history, is the visceral world in which Kalanick was determined to operate. Its a gripping account of Ubers rapid rise, its pitched battles with taxi unions and drivers, the companys toxic internal culture and the bare-knuckle tactics it devised to overcome obstacles in its quest for dominance." -- Engineering and Technology"Isaac is great at the ticktock of events as they unfold, but his best work comes when he steps back to examine the bigger picture." -- Leslie Berlin - The New York Times Book Review"... if you want to understand how some of Silicon Valleys biggest players tick, this is the book for you." -- City AM"Tenacious New York Times technology correspondent Mike Isaac chronicles the dramatic rise, fall and subsequent hand-wringing at the worlds most controversial start-up." -- Best tech Christmas gift ideas for 2019 - inews Long Description Now a SHOWTIME Review Quote "This deeply reported book is a fascinating look at one of the most influential companies of the decade."
