About Team Human
Douglas Rushkoff sits down with scientists, activists, artists, philosophers, and researchers asking the same question: who actually benefits from the way we've built this world — and what do we do about it?

No algorithm deciding what gets said. Just honest, rigorous conversation with people working at the edges of the most important questions of our time.
