SPOS #354 – Pushing Beyond Present Shock With Douglas Rushkoff

Welcome to episode #354 of Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast. His latest book is called, Present Shock, and he has ten-plus other best-selling books on new media and pop culture (including: Program Or Be Programmed, Life Inc., Cyberia, Media Virus, Playing the Future, Nothing Sacred: The Truth about Judaism, Get Back in the Box: Innovation from the Inside Out and Coercion, winner of the Marshall Mcluhan Award for best media book). He does tons of teaching and public speaking but also makes time to produce and write documentaries (The Merchants of Cool, The Persuaders, Digital_Nation). If that weren’t enough, Douglas Rushkoff has written two series of graphic novels for Vertigo called, Testament and A.D.D. When it comes to the top thinkers that inspire me, Rushkoff, holds one of the few coveted spots. He’s a deep, deep thinker and drops insights on media and marketing that will keep you thinking and spinning for days. Enjoy the conversation…
