If you haven't read any of Douglas Rushkoff's work yet, you should. This item is a disappointly short taste. But the full flavour of the Rushkoff universe is there. We are, he argues, in the throes of a new renaissance, one which completely changes the rules. "Think of it from a video game player's perspective. It's as if the first renaissance gave the gamer access to the cheat codes, so she can move about as she wants. The next renaissance gave her access to the programming language of the game." Compare this to the second superpower link immediately above: two parts of the same elephant.
