Elements in Religion and Technology is a series intended for a wide
range of scholars, students, and other readers whose interests lie at
the intersection of religion and technology. It ranges
from programmatic works that treat religion and technology conceptually
or historically, methodological explorations that propose
interdisciplinary approaches to the study of religion and technology, and works that address the relationship between religion and technology through examining particular technologies and/or specific religious or spiritual contexts. The
series will understand religion capaciously, inclusive of both specific
religious traditions and the broader concept of religion as a human
cultural phenomenon. It will include volumes that address various
worldviews that develop around and within a technological paradigm, and
that often come to function in pseudoreligious
ways at an individual and/or societal level, as well as explorations of
how religion and technology resist and contribute to changing
understandings of the boundaries of life and death, sex, identity, war,
and human destiny. Recognising that Western ethnocentric religious and
philosophical perspectives dominate
