CHRISTIANITY TODAY
About this episode

Being human in a disembodied world.

Find us on Youtube.

Technology has developed so quickly over the past 15 to 20 years that it can make your head spin. With so many apparent benefits embedded in technological advances, few of us pause long enough to wonder if there might be any costs. Christine Rosen is one person who has realized that human flourishing depends on slowing down long enough to evaluate how our lives have become disembodied. In this deep dive episode of The Bulletin, Mike Cosper sits down with Christine to talk about her new book, The Extinction of Experience: Being Human in a Disembodied World
