‘A devastating portrait of the cultures and logics underlying big tech. Rushkoff is going to make you mad enough to fight back. A vital, lucid, and enraging read.’ Naomi Klein, author of This Changes EverythingThe tech elite have a plan to survive the apocalypse: they want to leave us all behind. When Douglas Rushkoff was summoned to the desert to a private talk for the rich and powerful, he learned about ‘The Mindset’: a theory that inevitable societal catastrophe can be evaded by individuals with enough money and the right technology. Here, Rushkoff traces the evolution of The Mindset through its origins in science and technology to its current expression in missions to Mars, island bunkers, and the Metaverse. This mind-blowing work of social analysis shows us how to transcend the landscape The Mindset has created — a world alive with algorithms and intelligences actively rewarding our most selfish tendencies — and rediscover community, mutual aid, and human interdependency.

Tillfälligt slut
A deep dive into one of this century's most potent questions: do we direct technology, or do we let ourselves be directed by it?This compact new edition of a paradigmatic text packs a big and actionable punch. Updated with a new section on the unique challenges posed by AI, Program or Be Programmed presents a spirited, accessible poetics of new media. On these pages (and screens), Rushkoff picks up where Marshall McLuhan left off, helping readers recognize programming as the new literacy of the digital age.The debate over whether the internet is good or bad for us fills the airwaves and the blogosphere. But for all the heat of claim and counter-claim, the argument is essentially beside the point: it’s here; it’s everywhere. The real question is, do we direct technology, or do we let ourselves be directed by it and those who have mastered it? “Choose the former,” writes Rushkoff, “and you gain access to the control panel of civilization. Choose the latter, and it could be the last real choice you get to make.” In eleven “commands,” Rushkoff provides cyberenthusiasts and technophobes alike with the guidelines to navigate this new universe.

Douglas Rushkoff was one of the first social commentators to identify the new culture around the internet. He has spent nearly a decade advising companies on the ways they can re-orient their businesses to the transformations the internet has caused. Through his speaking and consulting, Rushkoff has discovered an important and unrecognized shift in American business. Too many companies are panicked and operating in survival mode when the worst of the crisis has already passed.
Likening the internet transformation to the intellectual and technological ferment of the Enlightment, Rushkoff suggests we have a remarkable opportunity to re-integrate our new perspective with the work we actually do. Instead of running around trying to "think out of the box," Rushkoff demonstrates, now is the time to "get back in the box" and improve the way we do our jobs, run our operations and drive innovation from the ground up.
Combining stories gleaned from his consulting with a thrilling tour of history''s dramatic moments and clever readings of cultural shift we''ve just experienced, Rushkoff offers a compelling vision of the simple and effective ways businesses can re-invigorate themselves.

Why doesn t the explosive growth of companies like Facebook and Uber deliver more prosperity for everyone? What is the systemic problem that sets the rich against the poor and the technologists against everybody else? When protesters shattered the windows of a bus carrying Google employees to work, their anger may have been justifiable, but it was misdirected. The true conflict of our age isn t between the unemployed and the digital elite, or even the 99 percent and the 1 percent. Rather, a tornado of technological improvements has spun our economic program out of control, and humanity as a whole the protesters and the Google employees as well as the shareholders and the executives are all trapped by the consequences. It s time to optimize our economy for the human beings it s supposed to be serving. In this groundbreaking book, acclaimed media scholar and author Douglas Rushkoff tells us how to combine the best of human nature with the best of modern technology. Tying together disparate threads big data, the rise of robots and AI, the increasing participation of algorithms in stock market trading, the gig economy, the collapse of the eurozone Rushkoff provides a critical vocabulary for our economic moment and a nuanced portrait of humans and commerce at a critical crossroads.

Why doesn't the explosive growth of companies such as Facebook and Uber deliver more prosperity for everyone? How could things be different?In San Francisco in 2013 activists protesting against the gentrification of their city smashed the windows of a bus carrying Google employees to work. But these protests weren't just a question of the activists versus the Googlers, or even the 99 per cent versus the 1 per cent. Rather they were symptomatic of the true conflict of our age, between humanity as a whole and a digital economy in which boundless growth is valued above all else.In this groundbreaking book, Douglas Rushkoff - named one of the world's ten most influential thinkers by MIT - lays out a ground plan for a different economic and social future. Ranging from big data to the rise of robots, from the gig economy to the collapse of the eurozone, Rushkoff shows how we can combine the best of human nature with the best of modern technology to achieve a state of sustainable, distributed wealth.It's time the economy finally worked for the human beings it's supposed to serve.'Douglas Rushkoff is one of today's most incisive media theorists and a provocative critic of our digital economy. He's also fun to read'WALTER ISAACSON, president and CEO, The Aspen Institute, and author of Steve Jobs and The Innovators'If you don't know Rushkoff, you're not serious about figuring out what's going to happen next'SETH GODIN, author of Purple Cow and Tribes

The promise and perils of the digital economy - and how we can use it to create prosperity for allThe digital economy was supposed to create a new age of prosperity for everyone. But as Facebook resells our data for billions and self-driving cars threaten to put drivers out of work, it has so far only exacerbated the gap between winners and losers. Yet the possibility of an economic Renaissance still lingers - if we seize the opportunity now. In The Growth Trap, Douglas Rushkoff identifies this crucial economic turning point and calls on everyone to remake the economic operating system from the inside out - to redistribute wealth and prosper along the way. With practical steps matched by incisive analysis, The Growth Trap offers a pragmatic, optimistic, and human-centered model for economic progress in the digital age.

In one hundred lean and incisive statements, Douglas Rushkoff argues that we are essentially social creatures and that we achieve our greatest aspirations when we work together—not as individuals. Yet today society is threatened by a vast antihuman infrastructure that undermines our ability to connect. Money, once a means of exchange, is now a means of exploitation; education, conceived as a way to elevate the working class, has become another assembly line; and the internet has only further divided us into increasingly atomised and radicalised groups.Team Human delivers a call to arms. If we are to resist and survive these destructive forces, we must recognise that being human is a team sport. In Rushkoff’s own words: “Being social may be the whole point”. Harnessing wide-ranging research on human evolution, biology and psychology, Rushkoff shows that when we work together we realise greater happiness, productivity and peace. If we can find others who understand this fundamental truth and reassert our humanity—together—we can make the world a better place to be human.

Five mysterious billionaires summoned Douglas Rushkoff to a desert resort for a private talk. The topic? How to survive The Event: the societal catastrophe they know is coming. Rushkoff came to understand that these men were under the influence of The Mindset, a Silicon Valley–style certainty that they can break the laws of physics, economics and morality to escape a disaster of their own making—as long as they have enough money and the right technology. In Survival of the Richest, Rushkoff traces the origins of The Mindset in science and technology through its current expression in missions to Mars, island bunkers and the Metaverse. This mind-blowing work of social analysis shows us how to transcend the landscape The Mindset created—a world alive with algorithms and intelligences actively rewarding our most selfish tendencies—and rediscover community, mutual aid and human interdependency. Instead of changing the people, he argues, we can change the programme.

People spent the twentieth century obsessed with the future. We created technologies that would help connect us faster, gather news, map the planet, and compile knowledge. We strove for an instantaneous network where time and space could be compressed. Well, the future''s arrived. We live in a continuous now enabled by Twitter, email, and a so-called real-time technological shift. Yet this "now" is an elusive goal that we can never quite reach. And the dissonance between our digital selves and our analog bodies has thrown us into a new state of anxiety: present shock.

Rushkoff argues that these men were under the influence of The Mindset, a Silicon Valley–style certainty that they and their cohort can escape a disaster of their own making—as long as they have enough money and the right technology.Rushkoff traces the origins of The Mindset in science and technology through its current expression in missions to Mars, island bunkers, AI futurism, and the metaverse. Through fascinating characters—master programmers who want to remake the world as if redesigning a video game and bankers who return from Burning Man convinced incentivized capitalism will prevent environmental disasters—Rushkoff explains why those with the most power to change the world have no interest in doing so. He argues that the only way to survive the coming catastrophe is to ensure it doesn’t happen by rediscovering community, mutual aid, and human interdependency.Anticipating the mass layoffs and institutional collapse that have recently rocked Silicon Valley, Rushkoff’s Survival of the Richest is "a necessary and timely read" (Los Angeles Review of Books) with a prophetic message about the future of tech and our human community.

Douglas Rushkoff was mugged outside his apartment on Christmas Eve, but when he posted a friendly warning on his community website, the responses castigated him for potentially harming the local real-estate market. When did these corporate values overtake civic responsibilites? Rushkoff examines how corporatism has become an intrinsic part of our everyday lives, choices and opinions. He demonstrates how this system created a world where everything can be commodified, where communities have dissolved into consumer groups, where fiction and reality have become fundamentally blurred. And, with this system on the verge of collapse, Rushkoff shows how the simple pleasures that make us human can also point the way to freedom.

Maschinen, die für uns arbeiten, damit wir mehr Zeit für uns haben! Was einmal wie ein Traum vom Paradies klang, hat eher albtraumhafte Züge angenommen. Statt auf dem Rücken liegend den Vogelflug zu bewundern, sind wir Sklaven von Email, Twitter und Facebook geworden. Wir sehen von allem zu viel und doch nie das richtige, da zuviele Welten gleichzeitig um unsere Aufmerksamkeit konkurrieren. Diagnose: Present Shock.Douglas Rushkoff fasst in Worte, was wir alle erleben, aber kaum einordnen können. Seine kritische Bestandsaufnahme als Medientheoretiker und als Betroffener erklärt, wodurch wir den Augenblick verloren haben. Er eröffnet eine Perspektive auf das Leben im digitalen Zeitalter, die uns das gewaltige Ausmaß des Umbruchs vor Augen führt - und uns auf geradezu kathartische Art und Weise damit versöhnt.»Wir wissen zwar nicht mehr, wo es langgeht, aber wir kommen viel schneller voran.«
La supervivencia de los más ricos

La élite tecnológica tiene un plan para sobrevivir al apocalipsis: dejarnos a todos atrás.Cinco misteriosos multimillonarios convocaron al teórico Douglas Rushkoff a un resort desértico para una charla privada. ¿El tema? Cómo sobrevivir al ''Evento'': la catástrofe social que saben que se avecina. Rushkoff llegó a la conclusión de que estos hombres estaban bajo la influencia de ''La mentalidad'' (''The Mindset''), una certeza al estilo de Silicon Valley de que ellos y su cohorte pueden romper las leyes de la física, la economía y la moral para escapar de un desastre de su propia creación, siempre y cuando tengan suficiente dinero y la tecnología adecuada.En ''La supervivencia de los mas ricos'', Rushkoff rastrea los orígenes de The Mindset en la ciencia y la tecnología hasta su expresión actual en las misiones a Marte, los búnkeres insulares, el futurismo de la IA y el metaverso. En una docena de capítulos urgentes y apasionantes, se enfrenta al utopismo tecnológico, a la informatización de todas las interacciones humanas y a la explotación de esos datos por parte de las empresas. A través de personajes fascinantes -programadores expertos que quieren rehacer el mundo desde cero como si rediseñaran un videojuego y banqueros que vuelven de Burning Man convencidos de que el capitalismo incentivado es la solución a los desastres medioambientales- Rushkoff explica por qué quienes tienen más poder para cambiar nuestra trayectoria actual no tienen interés en hacerlo. Y muestra cómo las recientes formas de rebelión contra la corriente dominante -QAnon, por ejemplo, o las acciones meme- refuerzan el mismo orden destructivo.Esta alucinante obra de análisis social nos muestra cómo trascender el paisaje creado por The Mindset -un mundo vivo con algoritmos e inteligencias que recompensan activamente nuestras tendencias más egoístas- y redescubrir la comunidad, la ayuda mutua y la interdependencia humana.En una conclusión atronadora, ''La supervivencia de los más ricos'' sostiene que la única forma de sobrevivir a la catástrofe que se avecina es asegurarse de que no se produzca en primer lugar.

Kultna knjiga s prijelaza milenija sada i u e-izdanju! Na žalost, nije ni malo izgubila na aktualnosti...
Na temelju znanstvenih spoznaja i vlastitog bogatog iskustva stečenog tijekom godina kada je kao savjetnik za nove medije surađivao s brojnim danas vodećim kompanijama, Douglas Rushkoff jednostavnim jezikom objašnjava koje se metode i na koji način primjenjuju u svrhu manipulacije ljudima u suvremenom društvu. Polazeći od postupaka koje u trgovinama primjenjuju kako bi kupce prinudili da kupe proizvod, Rushkoff razotkriva i djelovanje marketinga u politici i javnom životu te načine na koji mediji utječu na formiranje našeg mišljenja. Pitak jezik, te Rushkoffova jasna argumentacija potkrijepljena obiljem primjera, čini ovu knjigu veoma poželjnim štivom, osobito cijenjenim među mlađom publikom. Poruka knjige je pozitivna i u svakom slučaju usmjerena ljudima koji žele aktivno živjeti i sudjelovati, bez cinizma, u otvorenom globalnom društvu.
Knjiga "Iznuđivanje" dobila je nagradu "Marshal McLuhan" 2002. godine za najbolju knjigu o medijima.
Knjigu su preveli Andrea Marić i Vlatko Broz.
