具體描述
Silicon Valley technology is transforming the way we work, and Uber is leading the charge. An American startup that promised to deliver entrepreneurship for the masses through its technology, Uber instead built a new template for employment using algorithms and Internet platforms. Upending our understanding of work in the digital age, Uberland paints a future where any of us might be managed by a faceless boss.
The neutral language of technology masks the powerful influence algorithms have across the New Economy. Uberland chronicles the stories of drivers in more than twenty-five cities in the United States and Canada over four years, shedding light on their working conditions and providing a window into how they feel behind the wheel. The book also explores Uber’s outsized influence around the world: the billion-dollar company is now influencing everything from debates about sexual harassment and transportation regulations to racial equality campaigns and labor rights initiatives.
Based on award-winning technology ethnographer Alex Rosenblat’s firsthand experience of riding over 5,000 miles with Uber drivers, daily visits to online forums, and face-to-face discussions with senior Uber employees, Uberland goes beyond the headlines to reveal the complicated politics of popular technologies that are manipulating both workers and consumers.

##This is a book about how Uber created a fundamental cultural shift in what it means to be employ ed. It is also a book about technology ideology—the stories Uber tells us about users, and the stories we tell each other about the role of technology in our lives. It’s a tale of how a small start-up in Silicon Valley put algorithms in charge of managi
評分##可能是我之前預期太高瞭，看完感覺就還好吧，也可能是因為之前做過類似的pre，所以感覺幾乎都是把我已經知道的內容以Uber為例重組瞭一下，當然填充瞭很多Uber運作的細節，這本書一句話總結就是：technological totalitarianism（social aspect） is coming
評分##3.5星，還可以吧。確實是材料都有瞭，普通論述也有，但理論性不強（或者說基本不存在）。總的來說還是對Uber的全麵批判，如果有理論支撐的話作為學術作品會更加堅實，現在看起來就是深度不夠。不過我還是enjoy reading it瞭。
