Description
Our moral problems are not solved by faster machines. At the turn of the twentieth century, many thinkers were convinced that there was a "scientific" answer to all the problems that plague human existence. As we stand at the beginning of the twenty-first century, we can see that the same technology that produced the factory produced the extermination camp. The same technology that increases production threatens to cause global environmental disaster. We face greater conundrums than ever. How should we decide? How should we live? Journalist Denyse OLeary provides a witty, entertaining defence of a Christian perspective on this world and our place in it.
