Subject: Shane Hipps takes readers beneath the surface of things to see how the technologies we use end up using us. He shows us the hidden power of technology to shape our faith in unexpected ways. Not all is dire, however, as Hipps shows us that hidden things have far less power to shape us when they aren't hidden anymore. We are only puppets of our technology if we remain asleep. --from publisher description
