Episode notes

Douglas rushkoff is a theatre director and author. His first book on the internet was cancelled in 19 92 because bantam doubleday dell thought the internet would be over by 19 93, when the book was supposed to come out. Rushkoff: "I got interested in these digital technologies for what they were doing, not what they were like going to do some day"

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.
