Douglas Rushkoff - Team Human (#292)

 Douglas Rushkoff's twenty books include the just-published Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires, as well as the recent Team Human, based on his podcast, and the bestsellers Present Shock, Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus, Program or Be Programmed, Life Inc, and Media Virus. He also made the PBS Frontline documentaries Generation Like, The Persuaders, and Merchants of Cool. His book Coercion won the Marshall McLuhan Award, and the Media Ecology Association honored him with the first Neil Postman Award for Career Achievement in Public Intellectual Activity.Rushkoff’s work explores how different technological environments change our relationship to narrative, money, power, and one another. He coined such concepts as “viral media,” “screenagers,” and “social currency,” and has been a leading voice for applying digital media toward social and economic justice. He serves as a  research fellow of the Institute for the Future, and founder of the Laboratory for Digital Humanism at CUNY/Queens, where he is a Professor of Media Theory and Digital Economics. He is a columnist for Medium, and his novels and comics, Ecstasy Club, A.D.D, and Aleister & Adolf, are all being developed for the screen.https://rushkoff.com/ Music For Mushrooms - a new feature film - IN THEATERS NOWGet your ticket before they're gone at https://musicformushrooms.comJOIN THE MOVEMENT - OFFICIAL SCREENINGS:Los Angeles / Santa Monica - Oct 4-10Corvallis, OR - Oct 4-10Arlington, MA - Oct 6Encinitas, CA - Oct 8Boulder, CO - Oct 9-20Sedona, AZ - Oct 10-11Sante Fe, NM - Oct 11-17Oklahoma City, OK - Oct 12Kingston, WA - Oct 15Albuquerque, NM - Oct 21-24Greely, CO - Oct 23San Rafael, CA - Oct 24-31Oakland, CA - Oct 25-30San Francisco, CA - Oct 25-31Santa Cruz, CA - Oct 26Eugene, OR - Nov 1-7Lake Worth Beach, FL - Nov 3Atlanta, GA - Nov 6Baltimore, MD - Nov 7Las Vegas, NV - Nov 13Hilo, HI - Nov 15Lancaster, PA - Nov 18-26Victoria, BC - Nov 21Vancouver, BC - Nov 26All on October 10 - A National Screening Event:Sedona, AZSanta Monica, CABoulder, COPortland, OREncino, CAClaremont, CANorth Hollywood, CAGlendale, CADallas, TXSan Diego, CASacramento, CAFairfax, VAWashington D.C.Bakersfield, CASan Diego, CAAsheville, NCPhoenixville, PASalt Lake City, UTCorvallis, ORSalem, ORColumbus, OHBillings, MTChatham, NYMore cities and EU coming soon.Tix and sign up for updates at musicformushrooms.com. PATREON / GIFT - Please support the show by joining our East Forest COUNCIL on Patreon.  Monthly Council, live-streams, demos, and more. UPCOMING LIVE - http://eastforest.org/ticketsCOMMUNITY - join at EastForest.orgMUSIC by East Forest: Spotify / AppleSHOP: http://eastforest.storeIG:  @eastforest | FB/TT/YT:  @eastforestmusic
