Tech Agnostic: How Technology Became the World's Most Powerful Religion, and Why It Desperately Needs a Reformation
By Greg Epstein, humanist chaplain
MIT Press · 2024
Today's technology has overtaken religion as the chief influence on 21st-century life and community. In "Tech Agnostic," Epstein explores what it means to be a critical thinker with respect to this new faith. Encouraging readers to reassert their common humanity beyond the seductive sheen of "tech," this book argues for tech agnosticism - not worship - as a way of life.
From Summer 2025 recommended reading from MIT (MIT News).
