Literary reportage

The Invisible Ones

“I feel like a slave.” With those words, one taxi driver described his working life. Drawing on decades of firsthand experience, research and interviews, Klas Vinter traces how deregulation, debt, platform companies and relentless price competition transformed Sweden’s taxi trade. Rooted in Sweden, the book is ultimately about work and dignity — and the people who keep society moving while remaining largely unseen.
