Pre-interview video by http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFUvKMOMA0A#t=44

Description

"Author Douglas Rushkoff sees new models in social and political movements emerging. Top-down movements with clear goals, charismatic leaders, and narrative arcs that everyone united behind are scarce. From the impatient immediacy of the Tea Party to the goalless steady state of Occupy, we see the beginnings of a new sort of movement – one that exists in the present. They are roughly organized by protocols that channel behavior in general directions rather than adhere to a clear strategy worked out by leaders. Douglas shares his thoughts on where we might be going in this short preview of Reinvent Real-time Movements. Watch, share and be sure to join us live on November 6th."
