#79 Douglas Rushkoff: Remaining Human In The AI Age
I sit down with Douglas Rushkoff, author and media theorist who studies human autonomy and how we can remain connected in a digital age. He has written 25 books, including Team Human, Present Shock, and Survival of the Richest.
His perspective is pretty simple: a healthy society runs on direct exchange between neighbors.
We cover the birth of the corporation, the limits of capitalism, what tech billionaires’ escape plans say about how they see the rest of us, how AI is coming for our attachment, not just our attention, and why we should get comfortable with collapse.
Enjoy.
