Some welcome these developments as bringing humans closer to unified consciousness and eternal life. Others worry that invasive globalized technologies threaten to destroy the self and the world. Whether feared or desired, these innovations provoke emotions that have long fueled the religious imagination, suggesting the presence of a latent spirituality in an era mistakenly deemed secular and posthuman.William Gaddis, Richard Powers, Mark Danielewski, and Don DeLillo are American authors who explore this phenomenon thoroughly in their work. Engaging the works of each in conversation, Mark C. Taylor discusses their sophisticated representations of new media, communications, information, and virtual technologies and their transformative effects on the self and society. He focuses on Gaddis's The Recognitions, Powers's Plowing the Dark, Danielewski's House of Leaves, and DeLillo's Underworld, following the interplay of technology and religion in their narratives and their imagining of the transition from human to posthuman states. Their challenging ideas and inventive styles reveal the fascinating ways religious interests affect emerging technologies and how, in turn, these technologies guide spiritual aspirations. To read these novels from this perspective is to see them and the world anew. 410 0$aReligion, culture, and public life. 606 $aTechnology in literature 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTechnological innovations$xReligious aspects 606 $aTheology in literature 606 $aSpirituality in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTechnology in literature. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTechnological innovations$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aTheology in literature. 615 0$aSpirituality in literature. 676 $a810.9/356 686 $aHU 3451$2rvk 700 $aTaylor$b Mark C.$f1945-$0158562 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462839803321 996 $aRewiring the real$92485413 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01920aam 2200505I 450 001 9910709585803321 005 20130207122001.0 024 8 $aGOVPUB-C13-58dd24ec9724a1b17015092ba68c1c3c 035 $a(CKB)5470000002479139 035 $a(OCoLC)826903970 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002479139 100 $a20130207d2013 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aLatent interoperability transmission specification /$fMelissa K.
