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 & opinions. He demonstrates how this system created a world where everything can be commodified, where communities have dissolved into consumer groups, where fiction & reality have become fundamentally blurred. &, 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.
