Douglas Rushkoff, digital theorist and host of the NPR-One podcast \u003ci\u003eTeam Human\u003c\/i\u003e, reveals the dynamics of this antihuman machinery and invites us to remake these aspects of society in ways that foster our humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.
