145 - Team Human

In this episode, we sit down with one of the original cyberpunks, the famed journalist, documentarian, media theorist, and all around technology superstar and weirdo Douglas Rushkoff. We talk about his new book, Team Human, a series of aphorisms that add up to a rallying cry for building communities outside of what the current algorithms might suggest we build. Rushkoff says in the book that any technology whose initial purpose is to connect people will eventually become colonized and repurposed to repress and isolate them. In the interview, you’ll hear what his thoughts on all this and much more. - Show notes at: www.youarenotsosmart.com - Become a patron at: www.patreon.com/youarenotsosmart SPONSORS • The Great Courses: Free month at www.thegreatcoursesplus.com/smart • Squarespace: Use the offer code SOSMART at www.squarespace.com for 10 percent off your first purchase.
