Conclusion"Reviews'Fighting against the modern desire to neatly compartmentalize conceptual schema such as religion, media, and culture into a hermeneutical vacuum, Han instead follows the lead of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari in creating concepts that not only work through  preceding scholarly analytics but also make sense of the events at hand... Han's is a work that is theoretically exciting, critically sharp, and discursively rich. In combining a robust theoretical analysis of contemporary thinkers while keeping an empirical eye toward praxis, Han weaves together a book that ought to be essential reading in what is now a burgeoning discourse on the relationship between religion and technology.' Jeff Appel, Ph.D. Student, Department of Religious Studies at the University of Denver, Reading Religion.
