YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMike Isaac discusses his book, "Pumped", at Politics and Prose.
A technology writer for The New York Times, Isaac has covered Uber since 2014, winning the Gerald Loeb Award for distinguished business reporting. His book draws on previously unpublished documents and extensive interviews with current and former Uber employees to give a dramatic and detailed look at the company’s phenomenal rise and equally spectacular tumble. Writing with the pacing of a thriller, Isaac explores the confluence of technological and financial innovation that sparked the Uber phenomenon, describes the company’s toxic internal culture, and draws a vivid portrait of key figures such as Uber’s fallen leader, Travis Kalanick. Isaac is in conversation with Katie Benner, Justice Department reporter at The New York Times.
