Diana Walsh Pasulka

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Believing in Bits advances the idea that religious beliefs and practices have become inextricably linked to the functioning of digital media. How did we come to associate things such as mindreading and spirit communications with the functioning of digital technologies? How does the internet�s

the supernatural.
