Overview

How Delivery People Saved the World is a powerful, street-level memoir of life behind the wheel, told by a man who spent decades delivering packages through some of the most unpredictable streets in America. Set primarily in the New York metro area from the early 1990s through the COVID-19 pandemic, this book pulls back the curtain on the unseen world of couriers and delivery drivers, the people who move through every neighborhood, every kind of weather, and every moment of history. From walk-up apartment buildings and police surveillance to celebrity encounters, papal visits, Olympic champions, dog attacks, near-fatal accidents, and the quiet heroism of essential work during a global shutdown, these stories reveal a job far more dangerous, human, and meaningful than most people realize. With honesty, humor, and grit, Abdulgani S. Braimah shows how delivery people are often first on the scene, last to leave, and always moving forward, connecting lives, communities, and moments that might otherwise never meet. Along the way he reflects on risk, faith, family, and what it means to keep showing up for a job that rarely gets the respect it deserves. Readers will find Real stories from decades on the road in Northeastern United States Encounters with law enforcement, celebrities, and everyday neighbors Moments of danger, quick thinking, and acts of courage A tribute to essential workers whose labor keeps the world moving This is a tribute to the men and women who deliver more than packages. They deliver the world.
