‘A provocative, exciting, and important rallying cry to reassert our human spirit of community and teamwork.’?Walter Isaacson Though created by humans, our technologies, markets, and institutions often contain an antihuman agenda. Douglas Rushkoff, digital theorist and sponsor from the NPR-One podcast Team Human being, reveals the dynamics of this antihuman equipment and invites us to remake these areas of society with techniques that foster our humanity. In 100 aphoristic claims, his manifesto exposes how pushes for individual connection have converted into types of isolation and repression: money, for example, provides transformed from a way of exchange to a means of exploitation, and education has become an expansion of occupational schooling. Digital-age technologies have got just amplified these trends, presenting the best challenges yet to our collective autonomy: robots taking our careers, algorithms directing our attention, and social media marketing undermining our democracy. But all isn’t lost. It’s time for Group Human to take a stand, regenerate the cultural bonds define us and, jointly, make a positive impact on this earth.
