Rideshare—Navigating Life
Stories from the road—and the rearview.
Pre-publication
The city becomes both workplace and confessional.
For one older rideshare driver, an app reduces each encounter to a route, a fare, and a rating, but the passengers bring lives that refuse to remain transactional.
Their desire, loneliness, danger, grief, and disappointment accumulate in the temporary intimacy of the back seat—and in the mind of a man with decades of experience, diminishing options, and no clear road back to the life he once imagined.
Rideshare—Navigating Life is a collection of stories about the human cost of convenience, the illusion of control, and the search for meaning in a world where everything—even connection—has a price.
