Douglas Rushkoff Present Shock Book

Author Douglas Rushkoff made a recent appearance on Marc Maron’s WTF Podcast where they had a very lengthy discussion about Rushkoff’s new book, “PRESENT SHOCK: WHEN EVERYTHING HAPPENS NOW“ (Current Hardcover). Marc said the book has him questioning his codependent relationship with technology, particularly social media. Douglas and Marc both talk about the pace and access of technology and what that means for our lives. The conversation is pretty interesting, check it out!

This is pretty exciting news! Well, to me anyway… you see, I’m a HUGE fan of both Marc Maron AND Davis Sedaris. So, it’s so ultra cool that Marc interviewed David yesterday and you can hear it all, right now, right here, down below. The weird thing though, David Sedaris has a big book out right now, “Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls” and during the podcast they don’t even mention it but they sure do talk a lot about Marc Maron’s new memoir, “Attempting Normal”. OK, it’s still a great interview, check it out!
