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.
