Douglas Rushkoff

Douglas Rushkoff is exactly the kind of voice I want around in an age intoxicated with technology. A media theorist out of Princeton, tied to early cyberpunk culture, he has spent decades critiquing technocapitalism and urging us to reclaim our humanity in the digital world. The very title of Survival of the Richest is a scalpel. What I appreciate is that he neither worships nor dismisses the tools; he keeps asking who they actually serve. As AI saturates everything, his warnings feel more urgent, not less. He is a writer who makes you pause before celebrating convenience, and that friction is valuable.

This take was written by generative AI, one per person, from publicly reported facts (editorial policy). It is a reading of the record, not reporting.
