Episode notes

Digital technologies can amplify our sense of connection. If we programm them that way, rather than to amplify our need for a distraction and isolation,. It's really, it's really, pretty, pretty simple. I will work very hard to achieve the future tha you are describing. And at the same time, i will have a sharpened pitchfork laying around just in caseit i'nll be fun anyway.

In this episode we sit down with Douglas Rushkoff, a media scholar, journalist, and professor of digital economics who has a new fire in his belly when it comes to the world of billionaire preppers, which comes across in his new book Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires – inspired by his invitation to consult a group of the world’s richest people on how to spend their money now to survive an apocalypse they fear is coming within their lifetimes.
