Douglas Rushkoff

Center for Communication and MEDIA CITY

Posted: May 13, 2011

Choose the latter, and it could be the last real choice you will get to make.” Rushkoff picks up where Marshall McLuhan left off, helping readers to recognize programming as the new literacy, and as a template through which we can see beyond long held social conventions and power structures.
