Present Shock

When Everything Happens Now

Book • 2013

Douglas Rushkoff

In 'Present Shock: When Everything Happens Now', Douglas Rushkoff explores the human response to living in a world where everything happens in real-time.

He argues that this 'presentism' has led to a collapse of narrative, displacing the traditional linear continuum of past, present, and future with a succession of moments.

Rushkoff discusses how this phenomenon affects various aspects of life, including biology, behavior, politics, and culture, and offers insights into how to transcend the false immediacy of the digital age by favoring quality over speed and human quirks over digital perfection.
