Uber and Airbnb are changing the world
A must-read for anyone interested in business and current affairs!
Ten years ago, sleeping at a stranger's house or getting into a stranger's car would have seemed bizarre and dangerous. But today it is a common practice, just like online shopping. Uber and Airbnb have ushered in a new era: are changing the rules, forcing governments to rethink the laws that regulate business, and have changed attitudes to travel.
The bestselling book Uber and Airbnb are changing the world by an American journalist discusses the new generation of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who are using modern technology to disrupt the conventions of entire consumer industries. After Steve Jobs and Bill Gates come Travis Kalanick of Uber and Brian Chesky of Airbnb. How are they changing the world we live in?
The book reads almost like a detective story, but it can also be an inspiration or an insight into the kitchen for anyone interested in building a company of great significance. Honest journalism full of behind-the-scenes information and even gossip, well-built stories, the reader follows both the two now large and successful companies and similar competing projects in parallel.
The book won the AMAZON'S BEST BOOKS OF 2017 award.

"It's a very quick read and packed with information. The reader learns about the different layers of the story and, for contrast, those who failed. "
Walter Isaacson, New York Times Book Review
