From the author of The Tech-Wise Family 'A fascinating and
eye-opening book' - Tom Holland, author of Dominion: The Making of
the Western Mind Our greatest need is to be recognised - to be
seen, loved, and embedded in rich relationships with the people
around us. But for the last century, we've displaced that need with
the ease of technology. We've dreamed of power that doesn't require
relationship (what the premodern world called magic) and abundance
that doesn't require dependence (what Jesus called Mammon). Yet
even before a pandemic disrupted that quest, we felt threatened and
strangely out of place: lonely, anxious, bored amid endless
options, oddly disconnected amid infinite connections. In The Life
We're Looking For, bestselling author and cultural critic Andy
Crouch reveals how we traded lives of rich relationship for a world
of impersonal power - and how each of us can fight back. From the
generosity of early Christians to the efforts of entrepreneurs
working to create more humane technology, Crouch shows how we can
restore true community and put people first in a world dominated by
money, power and devices. There is a way out of our impersonal
world, into a world where knowing and being known is the heartbeat
of our days, our households, and our economies. Where our human
vulnerabilities are seen not as something to be escaped but the
actual key to our becoming who were made to be together. Where
technology serves us rather than masters us - and helps us become
more human, not less.
