About the book

Examines the effect of the new "computer culture" on both children and adults and theorizes that computers are responsible for the new wave of mechanical determinism and a revival of mysticism and spirituality.

First sentence: When writing this book about computers and people, I immersed myself in a world that was altogether strange to me.
