Fortune writer and author of Inside Apple Adam Lashinsky's untitled book on Uber, profiling the company's rise to prominence and its battles for dominance across the world, led by controversial CEO Travis Kalanick, to Natalie Horbachevsky at Portfolio, in a significant deal, in a pre-empt, by EsmondHarmsworth at Zachary Shuster Harmsworth Literary Agency (World).
a bit from the agent’s pitch:
“Everyone loves to love Uber—except people who love to hate them—but no matter your view, their business acumen and strategy is deeply fascinating. The ruthless yet brilliant CEO, Travis Kalanick, is one of the most interesting characters in business today. The corporate culture at Uber is Darwinian in the extreme. And the future of Uber in an age of driverless cars, instant delivery of everything, and every-service-on-demand will be even more amazing. Adam Lashinsky’s Uber book will join bestsellers like THE EVERYTHING STORE, ELON MUSK, THE FACEBOOK EFFECT, HOW GOOGLE WORKS and Lashinsky’s own INSIDE APPLE when it is published.”
Editor Natalie Horbachevsky says:
“Adam Lashinsky is a Fortune journalist who has covered tech for years. He knows and has spoken to Kalanick and many at Uber, including those from the early days who have been cut out of the story since. He also says he’ll have the cooperation of Uber here, as well as access to their competitors. He’s got 37K Twitter followers, 139K LinkedIn followers, 99K likes on Facebook. Lashinsky wants to tell Kalanick’s story, and Uber’s. Kalanick is vindictive, manipulative, brilliant, with a strong tech and business background. He’s one of the lightning rods for any piece on Silicon Valley CEOs.”
Adam Lashinsky is the perfect author to write what will certainly be a fascinating book. He is the assistant managing editor of Fortune. He joined the magazine in 2001 and is the author of bestseller INSIDE APPLE (Business Plus, 2012), which has sold in 33 languages. He is editorial director of the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference and a co-chair of Fortune Global Forum. He also appears regularly on the Fox News Channel.
