How the Web Ate the Economy and Why it’s Great for Everyone

Media theorist and social critic Douglas Rushkoff has a new book out called “Life, Inc.” Check out this great talk from the 2009 Web 2.0 conference which touches on a lot of the themes from his book.

"In Life Inc., award-winning writer, documentary filmmaker, and scholar Douglas Rushkoff traces how corporations went from a convenient legal fiction to the dominant fact of contemporary life. Indeed as Rushkoff shows, most Americans have so willingly adopted the values of corporations that they’re no longer even aware of it."
