The Digital God : How Technology Will Reshape Spirituality Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The Digital God explains how spiritual experience evolved, how it has changed over time, and how it continues to change.

It's the first book to explore the influence of media on spirituality, and the only book that predicts the impact of the digital environment on our experience of the spiritual world.

The title refers to the possible future of spiritual experience, a future in which our perception of God is forged out of a digital interface between our own internal image of the divine, virtual reality technology that produces real perceptions, and neurological devices that stimulate specific areas of the brain that are associated with spiritual perceptions. The media that we use to perceive our world molds our perception of everything, even our perception of the spiritual.

As 21st Century humans charge full-speed ahead up the vertical slope of technological innovation, the new media of the Digital Age will reshape our perception of our world, ourselves, and our God.

This book traces the history of the development of spiritual experience, and takes a peak into the future to reveal the next possible stage of spirituality, a future in which digital and neurological technology combine to create an experience of the divine for the new age… a ""digital god.
