Survival of the Richest is more than a primer on a soulless worldview pervading all aspects of life. Defying fantasies of escapefrom each other, from earthliness, from EarthRushkoff offers something at once more realistic and more imaginative: mutual regard, responsibility, and flourishing.

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. Team Human is a weekly podcast enabling human intervention in the economic, technological, and social programs that determine how we live, work, and interact. This is media as cultural resistance and a path to social change. Team Human is a free-wheeling, no-holds-barred engagement with the most important issues of our time: the relationship of human beings to the operating systems that usurp our autonomy be they economic systems amplified by digital technology, or the digital technologies themselves.
