Episode notes

A reed only file means someone can read what you've written, but they can't edit. Or read right means they can open it and then change it. What if the digital age was going to move us from a reed only media environment to a read right one? And what has been locked down as read only religion is readOnly. What else could be read right? That's what i thought digit was going to do. I was going to turn our read only institutions into read right ones.

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.
