I tend to be cynical about the idea of Late Capitalism, but an Uber driver last night told me a story which made my jaw hit the floor.

@c an IT consultant was telling me yesterday how wonderful it was that all disruption came from the IT sphere: Uber, AirBnB, etc were not created by taxi drivers or hoteliers, but by bros who code. It was no use pointing out to him the unmitigated havoc that the gig economy is playing on everybody, even in a – relatively – social country like France.
