Douglas Rushkoff

"Media theorist making the case for human connection over platform logic"

Douglas Rushkoff is an American media theorist, writer, and professor who has spent more than three decades examining how digital technology reshapes culture, commerce, and community. A longtime professor of media theory and digital economics at CUNY Queens College, he was among the first writers to popularize terms like "viral media" and to describe the social dynamics of cyberculture from the inside. His work spans books, documentaries, and a long-running podcast, all built around a consistent question: whose interests is a given technology actually built to serve? Team Human distills that question into a practical, shareable manifesto.
