Sociologist Felicia Wu Song has spent years considering the personal and collective dynamics of living in digital ecosystems. In this book she combines psychological, neurological, and sociological insights with theological reflection to explore two major questions: What kind of people are we becoming with personal technologies in hand?

Chalmers predicts, we will have virtual worlds that are impossible to distinguish from non-virtual worlds. But is virtual reality just escapism?

L'accelerazionismo è Legione: proprio come il demone biblico, esso è una miriade di forze contrastanti, uno spettro multiforme che aspetta di incarnarsi e gridare il proprio nome. Non è una via d'uscita dal capitalismo, né un'alternativa valida in cui sperare: è soprattutto una nuova e radicale modalità di vivere il presente e le sue infinite contraddizioni".

La tecnologia del terzo millennio non aiuta gli uomini a migliorare la loro esistenza né a ridurre gli impatti sul pianeta. Non è semplice, né utile e nemmeno educativa. Essa, totalmente slegata dalla radice scientifica, è, invece, fine a se stessa, "barocca", dannosa e insostenibile da un punto di vista ambientale. Viene spesso usata per rimediare ai danni perpetrati da una tecnologia precedente, incrementa i profitti basati sui bisogni indotti, accelera l'obsolescenza di oggetti e macchine, è costosa, fa perdere tempo.
