"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’...""

delights, particularly in Rushkoff’s roasting of the
techno-solutionists who refuse to challenge antihuman values."

Facebook, cultural hegemony, and the corporatization of
everything."
