Tech Gnosis by Erik Davis
Myth, Magic, and Mysticism in the Age of Information
An exploration of how technical culture and mystical ideas have intertwined in modern society, arguing that digital media, cybernetic imagery, and Silicon Valley mythology are suffused with spiritual, occult, and gnostic longings. It traces historical threads from hermeticism and occultism through cyberpunk, virtual reality, and hacker culture to show how technological fantasies function as contemporary forms of mysticism, shaping politics, identity, and visions of transcendence and apocalypse.
