520    Christian Ethics for a Digital Society looks at how we 
       live in an increasingly digital world. From sexting to 
       hashtag activism like the #metoo movement, technology has 
       entered both our private and public lives in a deep way. 
       Far from hand-wringing about the dangers of technology, 
       Christian Ethics for a Digital Society offers pragmatic 
       wisdom on how to live thoughtfully today. Instead of just 
       worrying about the next technological gadget or app, it's 
       time we consider what Christianity has to offer a world 
       increasingly reimagined in a digital landscape. This book 
       provides a new perspective on how to assess digital 
       technology use, development, and expansion through a lens 
       of Christian values. The purpose of this book is to begin 
       a conversation about the massive ecosystem change that 
       digital technologies push in our lives through a focus on 
       the ethics of everyday practices.
