Malcolm David Logan, Author

As a rideshare driver Malcolm David Logan has logged over 10,000 rides and met loads of interesting people. In Confessions of an Uber Driver he tells the stories of his most thought-provoking encounters, from an unfaithful firefighter to an embattled nurse for hire, from a trigger happy cop to a charming psychopath, from a doomsday prepper to a disillusioned journalist, and more. Through his interactions with riders, Logan assembles a colorful picture of America as it is today, shedding light on the deepening struggle to maintain a sense of civility and fair play against a rising tide of cynicism and dismay.

Salted in with these stories of trial and resiliency, he recounts the interactions that lifted his spirits, like the giggling group of ninth-grade girls who cajoled him into singing along with them, or the adorable immigrant children who charmed him with their quiz game. Some of his encounters are poignant, like the story of the elderly man fighting dementia as he is driven through a city he has known all his life but can’t quite remember. Some are frustrating, like the story of his meeting the one person with the power to make his dreams come true, and finding he doesn’t like him very much. And some are weird and unsettling, like the story of the strange character sitting in his backseat laughing hysterically at nothing.

Confessions of an Uber Driver is a simple random sample of people in motion that paints a vivid picture of America today. It will leave you laughing, cringing, wincing, smiling, and shaking your head. Come on and take a ride you won’t soon forget. Where to? Your driver is on his way.
