On the platoon. Battle for Uber. Isaac M.

In 2008, Travis Kalanik, together with the young businessman Garrett Kemp, created Uber - a mobile taxi order. The startup quickly won one country after another, not stopping at nothing: bribes, espionage, partisan methods of combating the authorities, illegal collection of user data, and theft of technology. The thirst for world domination turned into a series of scandals - the names of Uber and Kalanik began to be associated with slave labor, the destruction of jobs, and taxi drivers were involved in violence and murders. Internal contradictions led the company to the struggle for power between Kalanik and investors who wish his resignation...

"on the platoon. Battle for Uber ”is a dramatic story about how persistence and neglect of the rules helped Kalanik create one of the most expensive companies in the world and hardly did not destroy it.
