Uberland: How Algorithms Are Rewriting the Rules of Work by Alex Rosenblat

informative slow-paced

3.0

Especially interesting when it talked about how Uber manipulates drivers into thinking they have more control over their careers than they actually do through subtle legal loopholes (ie. keeping them as contract workers so they don't have to abide rules such as insurance, or other labour laws). Drivers often think they are entrepreneurs, while the Uber algorithm deters them in many ways from actually having autonomy. Only con is that after a while it is a repeat of the same point over and over again, which is bound to occur with these types of books, but got tiring nonetheless.
