Join us tomorrow at 8PM Eastern as we hold a live discussion with author, teacher, and documentarian Douglas Rushkoff in the #boingboing IRC channel, to talk about some of the work he’s doing to move his studies in a “‘new’ direction,” to focus less on the tech/media sphere and towards the nature of money and corporatism — and whether that’s a new direction at all! (He’s already started discussing this with other like-minded people on his new discussion board, Corporatized.net.)
Also, I just realized tomorrow is tax day. Fitting!
I’ll be moderating the interview — I’m really looking forward to asking some questions I had about his fantastic comic series Testament — but I hope to incorporate your questions for most of the discussion. If you can’t be on IRC for the talk, feel free to leave questions for Doug in the comments of this post. If you are following in real-time, you can also send me questions via private messages in IRC. If you can’t make the talk live, we’ll be posting a transcript.
