First book I've read in this series, after picking a couple of them up at a giveaway price. I went in with low expectations because I haven't been impressed by Barna's material, and I was pleasantly surprised by this work.
The authors don't offer much in the way of new thought - predictably drawing on the stalwart contributions of Postman, McLuhan, and Carr - but their succinct synthesis and practical unpacking of existing ideas is excellent. One of the things I greatly appreciated, most likely because I tend towards the latter, was the challenge for Christians to find the balance between technophilia and being Luddites. I also really like their definition of wisdom: living meaningfully and mindfully but also humbly, recognising we haven't got everything right.

Great read highlighting our hyperlinked lives. Some good reflective points on how best to live within this age. Digital sabbath, no phone zones, etc.
