'Dreaming of Eden is a fascinating story about stories - how elemental religious narratives about human nature and lost innocence shape our politics and culture in a digital age. Rather than relying on ancient texts or church doctrine, Susan explains how Americans today are creating a new 'public theology' to help find meaning in their lives and make decisions about complex political issues in a world of rapid-fire information and popular culture. Anyone interested in the intersection of religion, politics, and media will find much 'wired wisdom' in Susan's new book.' - John D. Podesta, President and CEO of the Centre for American Progress
