TECH AGNOSTIC How Technology Became the World's Most Powerful Religion, and Why It Desperately Needs a Reformation

As narrated by Alex Boyles, this provocative audiobook will startle listeners who are fascinated with how AI will affect society. Humanist minister Greg Epstein sees parallels in the fervor people feel toward traditional religions and the exuberant devotion the business world feels toward tech innovations like Bitcoin and the godlike thinking machines that will likely dominate the world. Speaking with a beautiful palette of tone, pacing, and phrasing tools, Boyles makes these ideas sound appealingly human and totally synced with the author's thinking. Even when sentences are overloaded with complex ideas and long clauses, Boyles's use of tonal variation and strategic pauses makes everything clear. Boyles is an outstanding and fun-to-hear interpreter of this astute analysis of technology, religion, culture, and social psychology. T.W.
