Editorial Reviews

This is a cutting-edge collection of essays that brings ethics to the heart of today’s Areopagus. … The book as a whole brings its readers to a whole new realm of discourse, beyond that of traditional theological ethics. Both creative and critical, the articles provoke and evoke fresh insights about the variety of ways of being human in the cyberworld. … this book is groundbreaking, as it will force a reimagination of our previous concepts and images.” (Christina A. Astorga, Horizons - The Journal of the College Theology Society, Issue 1, June, 2016)
