Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur
Douglas Rushkoff emerged from an unusually cross-disciplinary education that helped shape his career as a public writer on technology and culture. He graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University, earned an MFA in directing from the California Institute of the Arts, completed a post-graduate fellowship at the American Film Institute, and later received a PhD in New Media and Digital Culture from Utrecht University. That blend of literary study, filmmaking, and theory gave him a voice that moved easily between criticism, storytelling, and social analysis. He later became professor of media theory and digital economics at CUNY/Queens, where he founded the Laboratory for Digital Humanism. ((https://rushkoff.com/bio/))
