Douglas Rushkoff is professor of media theory and digital economics at Queens/CUNY.

He lives in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York.
"In Team Human, [Rushkoff] enumerates the ways connectedness
matters, and argues that the technology we think connects us today
is in fact tearing us apart... his cause is worthy: ‘The first step
toward reversing our predicament is to recognize that being human
is a team sport’..."
*New Scientist*
"Can the revolution start already? This book will help us. Thank
God for Douglas Rushkoff."
*Parker Posey*
"[Rushkoff] paints our current predicament with infectious élan and
energy."
*The Wall Street Journal*
"Mr Rushkoff... a vibrant thinker of the online age."
*The Economist*
"Rushkoff deals with heavyweight topics with a light touch, and
Team Human is a joy to read – witty, accessible, and highly
quotable."
*Make Wealth History*
"An astonishing, paradigm-shifting must-read for all inhabitants of
the twenty-first century. Precisely and cogently written.
Rushkoff’s best work so far."
*Grant Morrison*
"‘Team Human’ presents a convincing central argument and sometimes
delights, particularly in Rushkoff’s roasting of the
techno-solutionists who refuse to challenge antihuman values."
*Engineering and Technology*
"A vivid thinker, Rushkoff is an insightful and acerbic antidote to
Facebook, cultural hegemony, and the corporatization of
everything. "
*Seth Godin, bestselling author of The Dip, Linchpin, and What to
Do When It’s Your Turn (and It’s Always Your Turn)*
"Team Human serves as a reminder that we do not have to surrender
ourselves to technology... Joining Team Human means prioritizing
the social, transcending a digital inclination and connecting as
humans."
*Chris Yogerst - The Washington Post*
