This isn't a book about how technology is evil, nor is it about how we can do everything through the internet. With careful thought, Adam takes us through reasons that the Tech (as he calls the internet-gaming-social networking world) has both good points and bad points, and how we should be careful to use it to reach out to others without actually isolating ourselves (or them). It's very well-balanced.
He makes the very real point that Jesus came in the flesh to show God's love in person; while the Tech allows us to keep in contact with people many miles away from us, an e-hug isn't as comforting to a friend as a real hug, nor do we really *know* people we haven't actually met, talked to, touched, eaten with.
He also shares ways we can ground ourselves, either through a Tech Sabbath or deliberately slowing down, suggesting two methods of prayer and Bible study which can easily be done in our world. And, if you want to get deeper into this, each chapter has thought-provoking questions for you to consider or to discuss as a group.

Challenging thoughts for Christians in our digital world. Difficult things to think about. Tech can both isolate and connect people at the same time.
