Synopsis

A millennial through and through, Nathan Roberts 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, Roberts 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.|A millennial through and through, Nathan Roberts 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?
