In Tech Agnostic, humanist chaplain Greg Epstein explores how technology has overtaken religion as the chief influence on our lives and community. He shows why we must maintain a freethinking critical perspective toward innovation until it proves itself worthy of our faith or not and better serves humanity.

Greg M. Epstein serves as the Humanist Chaplain at Harvard & MIT, and the Convener for Ethical Life at MIT’s Office of Religious, Spiritual, and Ethical Life. TechCrunch’s first “ethicist in residence,” he is the author of Good Without God and has also written for MIT Technology Review, CNN.com, The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, and Newsweek.
