Based In Pleasanton

By David Shuttleworth

Based in Pleasanton

Just a few months ago, David was a bachelor with a stable job living in a cheap apartment in the inner city of Oakland, California. Now, he finds himself suddenly adjusting to the role of a suburbanite family man and entering the instability of the Gig economy. During this new chapter of life, David discovers what marriage means to him and the reward of being of service to others.

The Rideshare experience can be powerful. This book explores the interactions between drivers and passengers and their impact on both. Some very personal conversations occur with strangers in the intimate setting of a private vehicle. Some riders put in their ear pods and ride in silence. Others engage with David, eager to find out what drives him.

As the story progresses, David finds that marriage is much like the rideshare experience- every day reveals new grounds to be explored and uncovered. Distinct aspects of learning about human behavior and the similarities of arriving at a preordained destination. Most people spend years determining if their partner is a good match. But with rideshare, people are paired based on the vicinity and availability. One person knows where they are trying to get to, and the other decides if they will take them there safely and with trust.
