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

5.0

This is an engaging exploration of how Uber changes how we conceive of work. Based on both macro examination of the legal frameworks that Uber has used to its benefit (defining itself as a tech company and not a transportation company, and treating drivers alternatively as consumer and independent contractors), and micro ethnography and interviews, Rosenblat provides a full picture from the perspective of both drivers, and the impact of Uber on the culture.

Obviously a very timely book well worth a read.
