#asknostr I'm looking for a book which offers an argument for why the internet is "good" in the sense that it advances human flourishing. I want an argument that doesn't rely on:

- Cooked utilitarian metrics (consumption, access to services, literacy rates)

- Unreflective appeals to individual freedom, self-expression and authenticity

A teleological argument (what are humans for and how does the internet advance that purpose) or an ontological argument (what is good about humans and how does the internet amplify that) would be ideal.

I haven’t read this title (though his book competing spectacles is helpful) but I think God, Technology, and the Christian Life by Tony Reinke might be getting at what you’re asking about.
