Overview
Team Human is a podcast that strives to amplify human connection. Each week host Douglas Rushkoff engages in real-time, no-holds-barred discussions with people who are hacking the machine to make it more compatible with human life, and helping redefine what it means to stay human in a digital age.
Join him for a live taping of the show with guest Roger McNamee, original Facebook investor and Mark Zuckerberg’s mentor. He’ll explain how “a dystopian technology future overran our lives before we were ready.” This is the case for breaking up Facebook before it breaks democracy itself.
