Exploring the intersection of spirituality and technology, this book presents Thomas Merton's contemplative critique of modern challenges such as nuclear war and biotechnologies. Merton argues against a technological mindset that prioritizes efficiency over our deeper purpose of seeking divine wisdom. He advocates for a balanced approach to technology, emphasizing reflection, community, and a connection to nature as pathways to maintain humanity and spiritual integrity in an increasingly technological world. The conclusion synthesizes these insights into a holistic perspective on navigating contemporary issues.
