Surface tensions : searching for sacred connection in a media-saturated world

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, what does a dog say?""Woof.""What does a cat say?""Meow.""What does a mouse say?""Click."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.
