About Orthodox Theology and Technology: A Profoundly Gifted Autobiography
The book, like most of my books, is in fact a collection of originally independent works drawn in to a single center of gravity. In this case it includes the following works:
“About the Author:” my website’s author biography. Some people have found it significant that I claim not some uniqueness, but the glory and shame of being a human being.
“An Author’s Musing Memoirs About His Work: Retrospective Reflections, Retracings, and Retractions,” a set of musing memoirs at midlife.
“Character Sheet.” I am intentionally no longer a gamer, but a character sheet with a bit of fantasy is something that some reader will instantly connect with.
“An Interview with the Author by… the Author Himself!” It might be read with the “Cosmic Patriot” work of “Why I’m Glad I’m Living Now, at This Place, at This Time, in This World”
“Orthodox Theology and Technology: A Profoundly Gifted Autobiography” offers a single autobiography in a more conventional sense.
“Appendix A: Recommended Works” is intended to give the reader a head start in navigating my voluminous output. It covers which works to read first.

Author Bio:
The author has a first master’s bridging math and computers from UIUC, and transitioned to a second master’s bridging theology and philosophy from Cambridge. This is part of the trajectory that started him as the local Unix guru in high school and someone who could do almost anything with technology, to exploring what it means to be human in the Orthodox Church. There is a famous saying among Orthodox, almost a John 3:16 for its significance, “God and the Son of God became Man and the Son of Man that men and the sons of men might become gods and the sons of God.” One tangent that has been rightly repeated is, “Christ did not only become man so that he might make me divine. He also became man so that I might become more fully human.”
There is a lot of humanity that is lost in our technological bubble, and we are living in a singularity. This author biography will interest both readers of biographies and people wanting to get a little bit better a handle on technology and know in what directions to venture.
