Reviews

""Di Di has brought real empirical data to the question of how religion and new technologies might intersect in a global world. Divine Meets Digital is the book that we have been waiting for. Anyone who cares about the future impact of technology and the ways it shapes the religious lives of technology workers--really all of us--should read this work."" --Elaine Howard Ecklund ""Herbert S. Autrey Chair in Social Sciences, Rice University"" ""With incisive analysis, Di Di debunks simple myths that tech and religion are incompatible. Through her robust data, she demonstrates the complex and nuanced ways that tech workers embody a sense of 'nonreligious religiosity' differently in China and the United States. Divine Meets Digital should be at the top of the reading list for anyone interested in religion, technology, and science."" --Carolyn Chen ""author of Work Pray Code: When Work Becomes Religion in Silicon Valley""
