"In 2015, Juan M. del Nido went on hundreds of taxi rides in Buenos Aires, conducting ethnographic work on the taxi industry. But by mid-April 2016, Uber launched its platform in Buenos Aires, engulfing drivers, passengers, the press, and greater general public into a frenzied hysteria that involved courts of law, political platforms, and threats of violence. This book examines not only how the taxi industry made sense of the sudden and ubiquitous presence of Uber in Argentina, but also how the assumed efficiency and objectivity of Uber's algorithmic methods catalyzed new forms of understanding ethics, responsibility and professional advancement in the Argentinean context. Tightly entwined with the politics of labor, trade, institutions, and economic life, del Nido reveals how Uber came to signify and instantiate the greatest moment of political and economic disruption seen in Argentina since the crisis of 2001. He shows how a multinational company taken to court allowed Buenos Aires's residents to craft particular ideas of what it meant to be political, and what it meant become "post-political"-to subsume, neutralize and pathologize genuine disagreement, shaping how we understand what we can even disagree about and how"--

L'ubérisation est devenue un symbole : celui des transformations que le numérique impose à notre modèle social, remis en cause jusque dans ses fondements. Le salariat est-il en danger ? Faut-il au contraire l'imposer aux plateformes et à leurs travailleurs ? La précarisation généralisée est-elle le prix à payer pour ces innovations sans précédent ? Au-delà des réponses toutes faites, il faut comprendre ce que ces évolutions disent de notre société et de son avenir. C'est ainsi que nous pourrons collectivement cesser de considérer Tubérisation comme une fatalité et reprendre le contrôle. Reprendre le contrôle de nos données et des algorithmes qui les exploitent. Reprendre le contrôle de notre modèle social. Reprendre le contrôle de notre destin collectif, face à la puissance des nouveaux acteurs du numérique. Ce livre propose des pistes innovantes et réalistes, certaines inspirées par des évolutions en cours à travers le monde, d'autres encore à mettre en oeuvre. Fruit d'un travail conjoint entre #Leplusimportant, think tank et action lab indépendant créé en 2017 pour développer les capacités, les compétences et redonner du pouvoir d'agir à chacun, et de représentants du réseau Sharers & Workers, créé en 2015 et centré sur les enjeux du dialogue social autour de l'économie des plateformes. "Les nouveaux possibles" est une collection d'essais dont la vocation est de trouver des solutions concrètes pour rendre le monde meilleur.

"The unbelievable true story of the young woman who faced down one of the most valuable startups in Silicon Valley history--and what came after In 2017, twenty-five-year-old Susan Fowler published a blog post detailing the sexual harassment and retaliation she'd experienced as an entry-level engineer at Uber. The post went viral, leading not only to the ouster of Uber's CEO and twenty other employees, but 'starting a bonfire on creepy sexual behavior in Silicon Valley that . . . spread to Hollywood and engulfed Harvey Weinstein' (Maureen Dowd, The New York Times). When Susan decided to share her story, she was fully aware of the consequences most women faced for speaking out about harassment prior to the #MeToo era. But, as her inspiring memoir, Whistleblower, reveals, this courageous act was entirely consistent with Susan's young life so far: a life characterized by extraordinary determination, a refusal to accept things as they are, and the desire to do what is good and right. Growing up in poverty in rural Arizona, she was denied a formal education--yet went on to obtain an Ivy League degree. When she was told, after discovering the pervasive culture of sexism, harassment, racism, and abuse at Uber, that she was the problem, she banded together with other women to try to make change. When that didn't work, she went public. She could never have anticipated the lengths to which Uber would go in its efforts to intimidate and discredit her, the impact her words would have on Silicon Valley--and the world--or how they would set her on a course toward finally achieving her dreams. The moving story of a woman's lifelong fight to do what she loves--despite repeatedly being told no or treated as less-than--Whistleblower is both a riveting read and a source of inspiration for anyone seeking to stand up against inequality in their own workplace"--
