@M3U@ Douglas Rushkoff speaks to [http://www.connectedmarketing.org/2007/09/14/series-2-douglas-rushkoff-interview-september-2007/ Connected Marketing] about his early interest in transitional states - such as actor/audience as part the social construction of theater and life/death in biology - which has been a central theme of his wide-ranging output in various media.
