Wired for Wonder
by Aaron Cline Hanbury
An exploration of what it means to be human in a technological age.
Like it or not, tech is part of the air we breathe. New technologies are everywhere, and they're breathlessly marketed to us as good, even while almost every sociological measure says we're not doing well. Figuring out how to navigate--to use, not to use, how to use--new technologies has become an unavoidable part of twenty-first-century life.
In Wired for Wonder, writer and editor Aaron Cline Hanbury explores the massive and mundane ways technology shapes and reshapes our world. What does it mean to be human when AI can do more and more? Does technological advancement necessarily mean human progress? Where is our attention going, and who is buying it? How should our faith inform our relationship to technology? Rather than offering a book of how-tos and tips, Hanbury winsomely asks: How do we relate to the stuff we make?
Through relatable, regular-person dispatches from the intersections of technology, faith, and the everyday, Wired for Wonder gives voice to those who wonder if this technocentric moment makes our world--and us--better or worse. By breaking open the unnecessary binary between tech optimists and luddites, Hanbury suggests that wrestling with new things (technological or otherwise) is part of what it means to be human--and part of the Christian calling to tend to the earth.

"In these wide-ranging meditations on AI and social media for general readers, Hanbury explores how humans, who he sees as wondrously wired by God, can and should respond to the web of technological systems that increasingly ensnare them in a world wired by secular tech behemoths who care nothing about God and everything about profit. Particularly suited for millennials confronted by the dehumanizing forces of 21st-century technologies."
