Douglas Rushkoff

Douglas Rushkoff is an American media theorist, author and professor at CUNY Queens College who is one of the most influential thinkers on digital culture, technology and economics. He coined the term 'viral media' and has been writing about the impact of technology on society since the early days of the internet. Life Inc. examines how corporatism has infiltrated every aspect of daily life — from the economy to education to personal relationships — and argues for a more human-centred approach to commerce and community. Rushkoff writes with intellectual ambition and accessible clarity. His audiobooks and books are essential listening for anyone who wants to understand how corporate logic has reshaped modern life and what alternatives might look like.
