1. Syntheism Creating God In The Internet Age
Creating God in the Internet Age
The book argues that the internet and networked technologies are giving rise to a new kind of religion in which transcendence is replaced by collective, designed immanence: humans create gods, rituals and shared meaning through distributed intelligence, social software and aesthetic practices. It sketches a philosophical and practical framework for this ‘synthetic’ spirituality, critiques traditional institutional religions and modern individualism, and proposes that communities intentionally craft rituals, symbols and architectures of meaning to navigate ethical and existential questions in the digital age.
