An unflinching, darkly comic ride through the streets and subcultures of Los Angeles, Chasing the Surge follows a former cop as he trades his badge for a rideshare app. What begins as a side gig during the pandemic unfolds into a panoramic portrait of life after midnight—through heartbreaks, confessions, petty crimes, personal reinventions, late-night weirdness, and fleeting moments of grace. A mix of raw memoir and immersive reportage, the book captures the untold stories of passengers and driver alike, while mapping the subtle ways the job remakes the man behind the wheel. By turns gritty, hilarious, and unexpectedly moving, Foster’s debut cuts through stereotype and surface, revealing the hidden heart of the modern city—one unpredictable ride at a time.
