I commend this radio program from ABC RN's Future Tense.
There is a very interesting discussion about Uber and the sharing economy more generally in it.

When Douglas Rushkoff surveys the digital world he sees lost potential and the growing dominance of old-style capitalism. He joins us to talk about his latest book Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus - a wake-up call for a generation which, according to Rushkoff, has lost sight of what the Internet truly has to offer.
And David Glance, the Director of the Centre for Software Practice at the University of Western Australia, also believes we've lost our way and says social media was never as social as we might have imagined.
Original broadcast was on 20 March 2016.
