Redeem All examines the surprising intersection of American
evangelicalism and tech innovation. Corrina Laughlin looks at the
evangelical Christians who are invested in imagining, using,
hacking, adapting, and creating new media technologies for
religious purposes. She finds that entrepreneurs, pastors,
missionaries, and social media celebrities interpret the promises
born in Silicon Valley through the framework of evangelical culture
and believe that digital media can help them (to paraphrase Steve
Jobs) put their own dent in the universe. Laughlin introduces
readers to "startup churches" hoping to reach a global population,
entrepreneurs coding for a deeper purpose, digital missionaries
networking with mobile phones, and Christian influencers and
podcasters seeking new forms of community engagement. Redeem All
reveals how evangelicalism has changed as it eagerly adopts the
norms of the digital age.

The landscape of cyber threats is constantly evolving because of
this, as hackers are finding improved methods of accessing
essential data. Analyzing the historical evolution of cyberattacks
can assist practitioners in predicting what future threats could be
on the horizon. Real-Time and Retrospective Analyses of Cyber
Security is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research
on studying the development of cybersecurity practices through
historical and sociological analyses. While highlighting topics
such as zero trust networks, geopolitical analysis, and cyber
warfare, this publication explores the evolution of cyber threats,
as well as improving security methods and their socio-technological
impact. This book is ideally designed for researchers,
policymakers, strategists, officials, developers, educators,
sociologists, and students seeking current research on the
evolution of cybersecurity methods through historical analysis and
future trends.
Born since the mid-1990s, Generation Z is the first generation
never to know the world without the internet, and it is the most
diverse generation yet. As Gen Z starts to emerge into adulthood
and enter the workforce, what do we really know about them? And
what can we learn from them? Gen Z, Explained is the authoritative
portrait of this significant generation. It draws on extensive
interviews that display this generation's candor, surveys that
explore their views and attitudes, and a vast database of their
astonishingly inventive lexicon to build a comprehensive picture of
their values, daily lives, and outlook. Gen Z emerges here as an
extraordinarily thoughtful, promising, and perceptive
generation-one that is sounding a warning to their elders about the
world around them of a complexity and depth the "OK, Boomer"
phenomenon could only suggest. Much of the existing literature
about Gen Z has been highly judgmental. In contrast, this book
provides a deep and nuanced understanding of a generation facing a
future of enormous challenges, from climate change to civil unrest.
What's more, they are facing this future head-on, relying on
themselves and their peers to work collaboratively to solve these
problems. As Gen Z, Explained shows, this group of young people is
as compassionate and imaginative as any that has come before, and
understanding the way they tackle issues may enable us to envision
new kinds of solutions. This portrait of Gen Z is ultimately an
optimistic one, suggesting they have something to teach all of us
about how to live and thrive in this digital world.
