Abstract

Restless Devices by Felicia Wu Song, Professor of Sociology at Westmont College, is a book published in 2021 by IVP Academic. The purpose of the book is clearly stated in the subtitle: “recovering personhood, presence, and place in the digital age.” While engineers build our digital tools, I am grateful for wise social scientists like Felicia Wu Song who can help us understand their wider impact. This timely book not only illuminates the challenges of a society saturated by digital technology but also points a way forward with practical guidance for living faithfully in a digital age. I’m grateful to have connected with Felicia several years ago and for the opportunity to chat about her recent book and how we can better imagine the kind of life we hope to live in the digital age.
