We are born, live, and die with technologies. This book is about
the role technology plays in sustaining narratives of living,
dying, and coming to be. Contributing authors examine how
technologies connect, disrupt, or help us reorganize ways of
parenting and nurturing life. They further consider how technology
sustains our ways of thinking and being, hopefully reconciling the
distance between who we are and who we aspire to be. Finally, they
address the role technology plays in helping us come to terms with
death, looking at technologically enhanced memorials, online
rituals of mourning, and patterns of grief enabled through
technology. Ultimately, this volume is about using technology to
reimagine the art of life.
