Present Shock: When Everything Happens Now

byDouglas Rushkoff

We created technologies that would help connect us faster, gather news, map the planet, and compile knowledge. The research behind Present Shock draws together research, historical context, and specific examples to show how the central story changed over time. The result links when everything happens now with debates in technology & engineering, showing where public institutions and private experience meet. Accessible without flattening the complexity, Present Shock gives readers a focused account of what changed, who was affected, and why the story endures.
