TechGnosis
Myth, Magic, and Mysticism in the Age of Information
Erik Davis
Exploring the links between spirituality and technology, TechGnosis delves into how much of modern information technology has roots in mystical attitudes. Erik Davis compares and contrasts the scientific and Gnostic perspectives, revealing the spiritual side of seemingly cold, technological thought. Despite the stream-of-consciousness style, the interplay of wide-ranging ideas is lively and engaging. Delve into the nebulous nature of Gnosticism and the philosophical problem of evil all in one read.
