We got our post god nician computer, automated soul killing, auto tuning technology. How do we retrieve that which is being left behind in this new environment? I would say, first by not insisting that we find the answer to these tools in these tools. Or today, you could say, digita ology is one zero. Choose one of the above, cooki cutter, a medium.

Douglas Rushkoff is obsessed with technology and how it impacts our lives. In this interview, he offers insight into how we shape and are shaped by technology, what’s happening with mainstream media, and some tips on remaining sane online.

Rushkoff is an author, professor, and documentarian who focuses on the ways people, culture, and institutions create, share and influence each other's values. He is the author of 17 books including the 2019 release Team Human, and he is a Professor of Media Theory and Digital Economics at CUNY/Queens.
