Summary
"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.

Interesting but biased
A book with interesting ideas, but very biased to the author's own views. An interesting listen none the less.

Messy, meandering, fun
A bit like humans. Not the most well researched book, but lots of ideas and he makes a good point.

Slow burn, powerful insights
I didn’t know where this was going but I stuck with it. It was worthwhile. Douglas laid out the basic building blocks and interconnections of the way this current world works and created the sense that we can steer it to a place where humanity is at the centre of a new reality. It connected with me and my thinking very powerfully. Just roll with it!
