    About this audiobook

    In a collection of short tales inspired by his experiences, Gambhir reveals insight into his interactions with housewives, students, ex-cons, bootleggers, seekers, and healers pursuing side gigs in an economic revolution. From a Buddhist monk-in-training who drove an Uber to make ends meet while questioning the evils of materialism to a former circus daredevil seeking the infinite calm in Key West to a Somalian transplant relying on her faith to drive in treacherous weather, Gambhir’s stories delve beneath the surface of the mundane and the ordinary to provide a fresh look into the people, places, and cultures that comprise our big beautiful world.

    The Uber Chronicles is a volume of bite-sized stories that highlight the wisdom and insight gathered from an Uber passenger’s short conversations with his drivers while en route.
