About this audiobook

Book IV — The Age of Networked Divinity (1999–2011) explores the rise of Web 2.0 as a spiritual epoch in digital evolution — an era where connection became creed and algorithms shaped the rituals of daily life. Through vivid storytelling and philosophical reflection, it examines how social media transformed human interaction into a liturgy of sharing, how data replaced gold as the new sacred currency, and how the Feed emerged as both oracle and altar. This volume reveals how technology blurred the boundaries between communication and communion, and how belief itself became programmable.
