Recenzii
Thompson's long engagement with the theological significance of technology bears fruit once again with this careful analysis of the mature writings of Thomas Merton, who saw with his keen, contemplative eye the dangers of a technology that masters human dignity and freedom. This work should be of intense interest to all readers who are interested in the human condition as they engage the work of Merton, one of the great spiritual masters of our time. Lawrence S. Cunningham, John A. O'Brien Professor of Theology (Emeritus), University of Notre Dame "...a thought-provoking and engaging critique of our contemporary technology-saturated culture, based on the insights of the monk Thomas Merton. [...] This book is an interesting contribution to our contemporary state of technological materialism and deserves a wide readership." Fiona Gardner, Modern Believing, Vol. 54.3, July 2013
