The Digital Politics of Spiritual War

Human, Forever

Sean Wilson

The point of the book, as best I could make out, is that there is no putting the digital genie back in the bottle, and we risk losing a (the?) central feature of being human: our human memory, not only our individual memories, but the memory handed down to each new generation.

I think this might be a work of genius, but I confess that I found a huge part of it very difficult to follow. The more abstract nouns feature, the more likely I was to fall off the rails. This was not very clearly written. However, clear insights appear regularly enough that it was largely worth the effort.
