Super Pumped
The Battle for Uber
Uber's rise, recklessness, and the cost of growth at all costs.
Mike Isaac chronicles Uber's explosive growth under co-founder Travis Kalanick and the scandals that nearly destroyed it. He details the aggressive culture, regulatory battles, internal misconduct, and boardroom drama that culminated in Kalanick's ouster. The book is a reported narrative of ambition, deception, and the limits of growth at any price.
Founders get a cautionary case study in how culture, ethics, and governance can make or break a hypergrowth company. It shows the real consequences of a winning-is-everything mentality and weak guardrails.
