The real question is, do we direct technology, or do we let ourselves be directed by it and those who have mastered it? “Choose the former,” writes Rushkoff, “and you gain access to the control panel of civilization. Choose the latter, and it could be the last real choice you get to make.”

Rushkoff's book is available in e-book, paperback or in an e-book/paperback bundle from OR Books. It will be released on September 29th.
