I’ve just read The Invisible Ones – and it hit me quite hard, more than I expected.

It’s a reportage book about the taxi world. I’ve just finished reading it, and a lot of it honestly felt very familiar if you’ve been driving Uber for a while. The part about many of us ending up with completely unreasonable working hours (for me around 350 hours a month) and how “freedom” in practice often just means you carry all the risk yourself while the money doesn’t really keep up.

What really stuck with me was how it shows the job from the driver’s side, not the customer perspective, and how easy it is to feel replaceable in a system that just keeps running – whether you drive for Uber, Bolt, Lyft, Grab, Free Now or any other app-based company.
