Ten Commands for a Digital Age
Book • 2010
In this book, Douglas Rushkoff argues that in a world increasingly mediated by software, it is crucial to learn how to program in order to maintain control over one's life.

He outlines ten commands or ideas that highlight the biases of digital technologies and how these can be turned into advantages.

Rushkoff advocates for a broader understanding of programming as a necessary literacy for the digital age, similar to reading and writing.

The book is designed to help both technophobes and cyber enthusiasts navigate the complexities of digital media and its impact on society.
