Three arguments against the singularity

"Ranging from the printing press to the telegraph, from radio to the
Internet, TechGnosis peels away the utilitarian shell of technology to
reveal the mystical and millennialist expectations that permeate the
history of technology, and especially information technology. The book
shows how the religious imagination, far from disappearing in our
supposedly secular age, continues to feed the utopian dreams,
apocalyptic visions, digital phantasms, and alien obsessions that
populate today's 'technological unconscious.' In turn, TechGnosis also
shows how the language and ideas of the information society have
shaped and even transformed many aspects of contemporary spirituality.
In the end, the book gestures towards a vision of 'the network path':
a global, pluralistic perspective capable of grappling with some of
the forces that are currently tearing us apart: spirit and science,
modernity and nihilism, technology and the human."
