Ten Commands for a Digital Age

Douglas Rushkoff

In this book, Douglas Rushkoff argues that in a world increasingly mediated by software, it is crucial to learn how to program in order to maintain control over one's life. He outlines ten commands or ideas that highlight the biases of digital technologies and how these can be turned into advantages. Rushkoff advocates for a broader understanding of programming as a necessary literacy for the digital age, similar to reading and writing. The book is designed to help both technophobes and cyber enthusiasts navigate the complexities of digital media and its impact on society.

Team Human

Douglas Rushkoff

In 'Team Human,' Douglas Rushkoff delivers a call to arms, emphasizing that being human is a team sport. He argues that society is threatened by a vast antihuman infrastructure that undermines our ability to connect, citing examples such as money becoming a means of exploitation, education turning into an assembly line, and the internet further dividing us. Rushkoff uses wide-ranging research on human evolution, biology, and psychology to show that working together leads to greater happiness, productivity, and peace. The book invites readers to reassert their humanity and make the world a better place through collective action.
