Surface Tensions: Searching for Sacred Connection in a Media-Saturated World

Synopsis

A Millennial Through And Through, Nathan Robert S Book Recounts His Adventures In The New Media Jungle, Blending Personal Experience With Media Theory, Philosophy, Literature, And Theology To Meditate On The Question: How Do We, And How Should We, Behave And Believe In A Media-saturated World? Nathan S Adventures Span The American Landscape. In A Journey That Moves From Suburban California, To Rural Texas, To Downtown Manhattan And Back Again, His Story Explores The Often Maddening, Sometimes Heart-wrenching, Power Of Today S Media To Create Simultaneous Presence And Absence, As It Reproduces (increasingly) Powerful Art And The Uncanny Echoes Of Other Lives. With Humor And Insight, Robert S Story Calls Us To Conceive Of Media Not Only As A Tangled Postmodern Phenomenon, A Media Jungle Of Befuddling Proportions, But As A Digital Architecture That Creates Real Meeting Space Where We Can Become Ourselves, Commune With Others, And Meet The God Who Created A World Immediate, Sensual, And Oblique All At Once, A World Of Surfaces Illuminated By His Presence.
