Abstract
This book offers a broad-brush critique of the role of technology in modern life as seen through the spiritual lens of Thomas Merton's writing. The author, a theologian, argues that we must carefully balance the benefits of modern technology with its perils if we are to retain our humanity, as well as any vestige of the contemplative life. His general focus and generalising style mean that there is little here that specifically relates to, or would interest those in, educational technology. Target readers include theologians, philosophers and anyone interested.
