Digital Existence: Ontology, Ethics and Transcendence in Digital Culture advances debates on digital culture and digital religion in two complementary ways. First, by focalizing the themes 'ontology, ' 'ethics' and 'transcendence, ' it builds on insights from research on digital religion in order to reframe the field and pursue an existential media analysis that further pushes beyond the mandatory focus in mainstream media studies on the social, cultural, political and economic dimensions of digitalization. Second, the collection also implies a broadening of the scope of the debate in the field of media, religion and culture - and digital religion in particular - beyond 'religion, ' to include the wider existential dimensions of digital media. It is the first volume on our digital existence in the budding field of existential media studies.

Industry Reviews

"In each of these essays the reader is treated to an analysis which highlights important concepts, such as our loss of privacy and the quantification and objectification of our lives. Yet, these essays also give a demonstration of the way that these technologies may provide new forums of addressing important human psychological and religious needs [...] this collection of essays offers a fascinating interrogation of meaning in our digital lives."

- Prof. Randall Reed, Applachain State University, Reading Religion
