Recenzii
‘What are we doing to our home, to plants and animals, to the oceans and atmosphere and climate? What are we doing to ourselves? Technofutures covers the terrain but also goes to the heart of the matter: our love affair with technology, its seductive allure, its reductive grip, its relentless drive. Here we find honest writing, disturbing questions, and not a single easy answer. Whether you fancy being a posthuman living in a post-natural world or whether the idea scares the hell out of you, this is a must-read book.’

Descriere
How do the powerful driving forces of religion and technology interact in the way that humans act towards and within the natural world? Deane-Drummond, Bergmann and Szerszynski are concerned with understanding the complex relation between technology and religious belief in their intersections with the natural world. Working from both theoretical and practical contexts by using newly emerging case studies, including geo-engineering and soil carbon technologies, this volume breaks new ground by engaging theological, scientific, philosophical and cultural aspects of the technology/religion/nature nexus.
