""Winner of the PROSE Award in Cultural Anthropology and Sociology, Association of American Publishers"" ""An insightful look at Uber’s impact on Washington, D.C."" * Publishers Weekly * ""A fantastic look at how and why Uber was able to conquer our cities.""---Brian Merchant, Los Angeles Times ""The global financial crisis of 2008 and the Great Recession offered an opportunity for an ideological break with what had been the defining neoliberal worldview of the previous 30 years. Instead it yielded continuity. Disrupting D.C.: The Rise of Uber and the Fall of the City...narrates that story, in careful and powerful detail.""---Sandeep Vaheesan, American Prospect ""[A]n engaging account of a complicated urban issue encompassing labor and expectations of city government in austere times, and detailing how tech companies situate themselves as industry disruptors with unequivocal benefits . . . Disrupting D.C. is engagingly and accessibly written."" * Choice *
