Reading Paths

Three curated sequences. Pick the one that fits where you're coming from.

For the Christian Technologist

Working engineers, researchers, designers, founders, and operators inside technology companies and institutions who want a serious tradition to reason with about their own work.

For the AI / Tech Reader

Readers who came to these questions through Peter Thiel, the AI safety conversation, EA-adjacent debates, Paul Kingsnorth, or the broader contemporary tech discourse, and who want to see the actual Christian sources the conversation has been quietly drawing on.

For the Christian Skeptic of Technology

Readers who came to these questions through Paul Kingsnorth, Wendell Berry, the Benedict Option, the monastic-adjacent ecological-Christian tradition, or simply through the conviction that modern technological civilization is more deformed than its participants admit.
