From the Garden to the City

Short review: This is the best book on Technology and Christianity I have read. I have read a number and always thought they fell short, either because they started with a very negative view of technology but failed to show theologically why they held the view, or because they did not understand how technology worked or because they just uncritically accepted technology without proper reflection. John Dyer manages to explain how technology works on us (and he starts with a basic and broad idea of what technology is) and then reflects on how God has blessed our use of technology (making it one of the roles that we as humans have) but also shows how uncritical use of technology tends motivate us to think that we could become independent of God. Theologically sound and he gets technology, whether you are a techie or cannot program your DRV, the way we use technology is important. HIGHLY recommend this book.
