Douglas Rushkoff

With Douglas Rushkoff, Elevate welcomes one of the world’s most influential media and technology theorists. Since the early 1990s, Rushkoff has observed and analyzed the digital transformations of society—from the first internet cultures and the promises of platform economies to today’s techno-authoritarian tendencies emerging from Silicon Valley. In books such as Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus and Team Human, as well as his widely discussed essay Survival of the Richest, he offers a critical examination of the ideologies of the tech industry, revealing how its power structures shape social, political, and economic relations.
