Get ready for another Responsible Tech Mixer by All Tech Is Human! These are popular gatherings for a diverse range of backgrounds to come together to mingle, learn from each other, and find moments of collaboration. For our in-person gathering in NYC on April 26th, we will welcome special guest Douglas Rushkoff! Rushkoff will be delivering a talk, "I Will Not Be Autotuned: Crashing Technosolutionism."
Named one of the “world’s ten most influential intellectuals” by MIT, Douglas Rushkoff is an author and documentarian who studies human autonomy in a digital age. His twenty books include the just-published Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires, as well as the recent Team Human, based on his podcast, and the bestsellers Present Shock, Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus, Program or Be Programmed, Life Inc, and Media Virus. He also made the PBS Frontline documentaries Generation Like, The Persuaders, and Merchants of Cool. His book Coercion won the Marshall McLuhan Award, and the Media Ecology Association honored him with the first Neil Postman Award for Career Achievement in Public Intellectual Activity.
**We will have a giveaway during the mixer to give out a few copies of Survival of the Richest.
