I have read Murray Jardine’s book and this is a very insightful book. My favorite author on the topic is Jacques Ellul. I am always looking for someone who can continue the legacy of Ellul and this book gives me hope. I recently read “Shades of Loneliness: Pathologies of a Technological Society” (New Social Formations) by Richard Stivers and thought that was most excellent also. I just started reading Stiver’s “Technology as Magic”. What else have you folks found out there that is worth reading?

I just finished Postman’s Amusing Ourselves To Death a couple days ago and loved it. I’ve been trying to wrestle with those ideas as they pertain to the Church. I’m going to read this book regardless, but a free copy is better than a paid one… :)
