[O]ffers an introduction to the intersection of technology and religion that is addressed to the thoughtful but nonspecialist reader. . . . She insists that human beings can and should shape the use of technologies and that religion must offer the guidelines for decision making in this arena. Though the author is most knowledgeable regarding Christianity, which she believes provides such guidelines, she also believes they may be found in the other monotheistic religions. The book makes clear that, since technlogy is a global issue posing global threats, the insights of other religous traditons are importat to consider. . . . Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readers. —S. C. Pearson, emeritus, Southern Illinois University at Edwardville.
