“In discussing the modern gig-work economy, McClanahan focuses on Uber drivers, especially those who have transformed their experiences into novels that deal with having “every movement monitored and logged” on the road while circulating in the world and navigating complex relationships with other service workers. Intelligent and timely, the book illuminates the often-hostile economic and cultural landscape of modern capitalism.”
