具体描述
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.
用户评价
##3.5星，还可以吧。确实是材料都有了，普通论述也有，但理论性不强（或者说基本不存在）。总的来说还是对Uber的全面批判，如果有理论支撑的话作为学术作品会更加坚实，现在看起来就是深度不够。不过我还是enjoy reading it了。

评分##从劳工角度写科技产业发展过程中的一系列问题。体系感太差了，基本上就是堆材料吧，不必看完。三星半。
评分公众向的ethnography，有趣的是话题，是对emerging technologies尝试着敲敲打打的勇气，但是写着写着就沦为“故事会”式的故事合集了，作为work的定义呢？理论框架呢？normative claim感觉也要我自己猜了==略失望啊。写公众向的科技社会影响的文本是否改在理论厚度上作出多少让步呢？第一年的思考问题。
评分##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
