{"product_id":"power-failure-albert-borgmann-9781587430589","title":"Power Failure: Christianity in the Culture of Technology","description":"We live in a culture shaped and fueled by technology. Usually we equate access to technology with opportunity and the chance to pursue \"the good life.\" Power Failure raises some crucial, if disconcerting, questions about technology: If technology liberates us, what kind of liberation does it promise? Are we prospering, and by what definition? \u003cbr\u003e\tAlbert Borgmann looks at the relationship between Christianity and technology by examining some of the \"invisible\" dangers of a technology-driven lifestyle. Specifically, he points out how utility and consumption have replaced connection to physical things and meaningful practices in everyday life. Power Failure calls us to redeem and restrain technology through simple Christian practices, including citizen-based decision making, shared meals, and daily Scripture reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Albert Borgmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1587430584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781587430589\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baker Academic \u0026amp; Brazos Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.88h x 6.64w x 0.43d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2003 pg. 67\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2004 pg. 924\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2007 pg. 1681","brand":"Albert Borgmann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985217683711,"sku":"9781587430589","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5afcb3c5-1a22-4b83-a6e2-a7a6d6e3bfbf.jpg?v=1683276255","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/power-failure-albert-borgmann-9781587430589","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
