The Digital Human

Author Douglas Coupland's most recent book 'Kitten Clone' is based on his experiences as writer in residence inside technology giant Alcatel-Lucent. It might not be a household name but without it large parts of the internet would simply not exist. A longtime observer of digital culture Douglas shares his thoughts on what he learnt from the engineers there about how they consider the social implications of their efforts.
