"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 host of the NPR-One podcast Team Human, reveals the dynamics of this antihuman machinery and invites us to remake these aspects of society in ways that foster our humanity.

In 100 aphoristic statements, his manifesto exposes how forces for human connection have turned into ones of isolation and repression: Money, for example, has transformed from a means of exchange to a means of exploitation, and education has become an extension of occupational training. Digital-age technologies have only amplified these trends, presenting the greatest challenges yet to our collective autonomy: robots taking our jobs, algorithms directing our attention, and social media undermining our democracy. But all is not lost.

It's time for Team Human to take a stand, regenerate the social bonds that define us and, together, make a positive impact on this earth.

Maybe then - they would go into the world thinking and framing humanity as an asset & community as something to strive for. Some of the book is idealistic in tone, but it feels on purpose.. like for a little extra nudge. Thanks Douglas, I value your contribution to team human!

Amazing food for thought from every food group. It draws nicely from many wide ranging topics and concepts. While being so great at pointing out the essential flaws that recur so timelessly it somehow still glosses over how we're supposed to start working better to get along on team human but great insights and questioning.
