From his bio in Wikipedia, amongst other things:

“Douglas Rushkoff has been declared the 6th most influential thinker in the world by MIT, only behind Steven Pinker, David Graeber, Nobel prize winner Daniel Kahneman, Thilo Sarrazin and Richard Florida.”

Perhaps I just have some kind of allergic reaction to "public intellectuals".
