Description
Believing in Bits advances the idea that religious beliefs and practices have become inextricably linked to the functioning of digital media.
How did we come to associate things such as mindreading and spirit communications with the functioning of digital technologies?
How does the internets capacity to facilitate the proliferation of beliefs blur the boundaries between what is considered fiction and fact?
Addressing these and similar questions, the volume challenges and redefines established understandings of digital media and culture by employing the notions of belief, religion, and the supernatural.
