Douglas Rushkoff
February 21, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeTeam Human (W. W. Norton) is a fiery distillation of digital theorist Douglas Rushkoff’s most urgent thoughts on civilization and human nature. In 100 lean, incisive statements, Rushkoff argues that we are essentially social creatures, and that we achieve our greatest aspirations when we work together – not as individuals. Yet today, society is threatened by a vast antihuman infrastructure that undermines our ability to connect. Harnessing research on human evolution, biology, and psychology, Rushkoff shows that when we work together we realize greater happiness, productivity, and peace.
