Power Failure by Albert Borgmann
Christianity in the Culture of Technology
This book diagnoses how modern technological culture undermines Christian faith and communal life by turning goods and experiences into easily consumed, depersonalized “devices,” privatizing belief and eroding the practices that sustain moral and spiritual formation. Drawing on the device paradigm developed in his earlier work, the author analyzes the social and ethical consequences of ubiquitous power—its tendency to concentrate control, flatten attention, and displace meaningful practices—and shows how this shapes institutions, politics, and personal identity. Rather than retreating, he calls for a proactive Christian response that recovers focal things and practices, cultivates communal habits, and engages technology critically so that faith can inform public life, stewardship, and a renewed moral imagination.
