Open Source Reality

Douglas Rushkoff has spent the last 15 years analyzing the role of media in our lives. In the mid-90s, his books "Media Virus!" and "Cyberia" examined the manipulation of popular media, and the growth of the then-emerging cyber subculture. Recent books such as "Screenagers" and "Open Source Democracy" make the case that digital technologies can help us to participate more actively and thoughtfully. He now teaches media theory at New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program.
Rushkoff delivered a lecture at the Library of Congress in Washington in June titled "Open Source Reality," and he joins Word of Mouth with more on why we need to apply the open-source mentality of the computer world to the real world.
