具體描述

Mike Isaac is a technology reporter at the New York Times whose Uber coverage won the Gerald Loeb Award for distinguished business reporting. He writes frequently about Uber, Facebook and other Silicon Valley giants for the Times, and appears often on CNBC and MSNBC. He lives in San Francisco, California.

A New York Times technology correspondent presents the dramatic story of Uber, the Silicon Valley startup at the center of one of the great venture capital power struggles of our time.

In June 2017, Travis Kalanick, the hard-charging CEO of Uber, was ousted in a boardroom coup that capped a brutal year for the transportation giant. Uber had catapulted to the top of the tech world, yet for many came to symbolize everything wrong with Silicon Valley.

Award-winning New York Times technology correspondent Mike Isaac’s Super Pumped presents the dramatic rise and fall of Uber, set against an era of rapid upheaval in Silicon Valley. Backed by billions in venture capital dollars and led by a brash and ambitious founder, Uber promised to revolutionize the way we move people and goods through the world. A near instant “unicorn,” Uber seemed poised to take its place next to Amazon, Apple, and Google as a technology giant.

What followed would become a corporate cautionary tale about the perils of startup culture and a vivid example of how blind worship of startup founders can go wildly wrong. Isaac recounts Uber’s pitched battles with taxi unions and drivers, the company’s toxic internal culture, and the bare-knuckle tactics it devised to overcome obstacles in its quest for dominance. With billions of dollars at stake, Isaac shows how venture capitalists asserted their power and seized control of the startup as it fought its way toward its fateful IPO.

Based on hundreds of interviews with current and former Uber employees, along with previously unpublished documents, Super Pumped is a page-turning story of ambition and deception, obscene wealth, and bad behavior that explores how blistering technological and financial innovation culminated in one of the most catastrophic twelve-month periods in American corporate history.

##一般般,too dramatic and Mike I has an ax to grind against TK. The bias is too obvious for my liking.

##驚心動魄的故事。無論是Uber的創辦過程,Travis的早年經曆,還是最後Benchmark和Travis的對決,刺激!恰好幾天前剛讀完講Benchmark創辦的書eBoys,然後又和Bill Gurley和Matt Cohler開瞭會,真沒想到是看起來溫和文氣的Matt Cohler去代錶Syndicate給Travis下最後通牒……

##It's constantly compared to Bad Blood, but I personally find it less triumphant as the storytelling is a bit scattered. It's apparent that growth at all costs is not a sustainable strategy. But it's so easy to lose sight of it when you are caught up in day-to-day operations. A cautionary tale for growth-obessed entrepreneurs. 大多數初創公司都是從事已有行業,努力做得比前人更好一些、更高效一點。優步則宣稱要顛覆這個在過去幾十年都沒什麼革新的行業。它幾乎可以在一夜之間將整個交通運輸行業從模擬世界拉入數字世界。更重要的是,誰做到瞭這一點,誰就能製定整個市場規則。 創始人文化,更準確的說...

##寫得太精彩瞭。和Bad Blood 一樣地讓人放不下,更何況,Uber 更貼近我們的生活。現如今,誰還沒坐過Uber , 和司機聊過天,聽他們抱怨過這傢“該死的剝削他們血汗的”公司;生活在矽榖,誰還不認識幾個在那裏工作的員工,忍受著難吃的飯菜,沉重的工作量,咬著牙熬到IPO的那天,...
