具體描述
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Based on hundreds of interviews with current and former Uber employees, along with previously unpublished documents, Super Pumped is a page-turning story of ambition and deception, obscene wealth, and bad behavior that explores how blistering technological and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.
評分##一般般，too dramatic and Mike I has an ax to grind against TK. The bias is too obvious for my liking.
評分##熱血沸騰，群星閃耀
評分##前半部分沒the upstarts寫得深入，好在後麵的宮鬥夠精彩。這位是學貝索斯走火入魔瞭麼？
評分##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……
評分##TK這人真的事兒逼 對優步感興趣的朋友看看無妨 其他就不推薦看瞭 各種細節太瑣碎 可提煉的東西也不多
評分##沒想到Uber退齣亞洲市場背後這麼多戲。諷刺的是群眾製裁它的齣發點是道德而非法律角度。也隻有滿嘴自由平等女權的神奇國度纔醞釀的齣這清奇的視角。且換個市場再看。而企業內部的腐爛卻歸為Kalanick個人價值觀錯誤。但通俗來說不是一路人不進一傢門，Kalanick倒成瞭背鍋俠。
評分##How it started the hard business and conquer all the challenges and difficulties even it means walking on the edge of bankruptcy and illegality.but I am more drawn into the second half, the drama and corporate fight. Super pumped and hustle for all entrepreneurs
評分##一般般，too dramatic and Mike I has an ax to grind against TK. The bias is too obvious for my liking.
