About the Book

Technology is an integral part our world. But how does inter-human technology affect our ability to be present to one another, to God, to ourselves, and to the world around us? Modern technologies are reshaping human relationships. While they offer new possibilities for presence across time and space, they also function as either a substitute for human relationships or as a filter that mediates relationships between ourselves and others. In our technologically saturated world, it is vital that we become aware of how these technologies alter our perceptions, our actions, and our relationships. Religious and Cultural Implications of Technology-Mediated Relationships in a Post Pandemic World offers a variety of positions on how technology is influencing religious communal and cultural life. There is no doubt that our interaction with technology will shape the human community up ahead. These essays provide a basis for thoughtful choice and action.

Review :
When COVID isolated us from each other, technology kept us connected. Well, sort of. What actually happens when we human beings, who are innately social, put our social connections online? Are we still fully present to each other? Chatbots and robotic companions have already moved in to live with us, rechanneling if not replacing human connections altogether. Religious communities are discovering how quickly technology is altering religious practices. Will technology make us less human or more human? This book offers thoughtful analyses, multiple vantage points, and diverse perspectives all driving at one question: How is technology modifying the human social fabric and, in so doing, remaking humanity? In an accessible and engaging manner, this book touches a raw nerve: technology and us. The last years have demonstrated the ambiguity clearly. Look at the questions and concerns raised by the pandemic and our technologically mediated responses or widely experimented artificial intelligence chatbots (like ChatGPT). The right relationship with nature and technology is not a given. Technology is a gift, technology is 'us,' and it is an achievement of many actors, not all of them technologists. Theologians, philosophers, psychologists, and educators will particularly benefit from this excellent collection of essays.
