The capacity of human beings to invent, construct and use technical
artifacts is a hugely consequential factor in the evolution of
society, and in the entangled relations between humans, other
creatures and their natural environments. Moving from a critical
consideration of theories, to narratives about technology, and then
to particular and specific practices, Technofutures, Nature and the
Sacred seeks to arrive at a genuinely transdisciplinary perspective
focusing attention on the intersection between technology, religion
and society and using insights from the environmental humanities.
It works from both theoretical and practical contexts by using
newly emerging case studies, including geo-engineering and soil
carbon technologies, and breaks open new ground by engaging
theological, scientific, philosophical and cultural aspects of the
technology/religion/nature nexus. Encouraging us to reflect on the
significance and place of religious beliefs in dealing with new
technologies, and engaging critical theory common in sociological,
political and literary discourses, the authors explore the implicit
religious claims embedded in technology.
