It is certainly no coincidence that books on virtually the same topic by two of the leading contemporary writers on digital media and communications — Robert McChesney and Douglas Rushkoff — are released within a week of each other. People Get Ready, by Robert McChesney and John Nichols, and Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus, by Douglas Rushkoff, both address the effects of digital technologies and media on national and world economies and possible consequences for a wide range of issues related to work and human interaction. And how C3PO and R2D2 might not be your best pals after all. At least if you have to work to get by (and are not simply funded by the Jedi interstellar trust fund). You can also check out related earlier posts from mediateacher.net: New Business and Business as Usual, Media Business and Criminology, and VFX and the Art & Business of Moving Images.
