Summary

Philip Hefner sees the human spirit at issue in our assessment of and attitude toward technology and the many technological creations that humans spawn. Technology, he argues, tells us much about ourselves - especially our innate drive toward exploration of possibilities - and poses questions about the final meaning of creating, of human cultural evolution, and even the being of God.

Author Biography
