Our devices are not just tools; they are shaping our attention, identity, and desire. The deeper question is no longer simply what we are making — but who we are becoming.\nTwo hundred years after Mary Shelley imagined a scientist who built life without love, we find ourselves living her parable.\nFrankenstein and the Age of AI is a book about discipleship in a distracted age. It explores what happens when human creativity outruns wisdom — when the tools we make begin to remake us. Long before AI entered the conversation, our inventions were already shaping our souls. Now artificial intelligence presses the oldest human question with new urgency: What kind of people are we becoming?\nDrawing from Scripture, theology, philosophy, psychology, and cultural history, Kevin Boyd traces the biblical theme of making and being made — from Eden to Frankenstein’s laboratory to the glowing screens of the modern world. Like Victor Frankenstein, we stand between creation and responsibility: astonished by our power, unsettled by our loss of control, and quietly longing for wisdom, restraint, and grace.\nBut this is not merely a warning about the digital age.\nIt is an invitation to live faithfully within it.\nThrough ancient practices, embodied spiritual disciplines, and renewed attention to God’s presence, readers are invited into Christian spiritual formation — learning to grow closer to Christ and become fully human in a world designed to fragment the soul.\nThis is not a manual for rejecting technology.\nIt is an invitation to remember who we are, what we are for, and how grace still meets the makers who have lost control of what they’ve made. This book is for you if…\n– You want to grow closer to God in a distracted world\n– You’re wrestling with how technology, social media, or AI is shaping your inner life\n– You care about Christian discipleship and spiritual formation in the digital age\n– You’re a pastor, parent, leader, or thoughtful believer seeking wisdom beyond fear or hype\n– You long to reclaim attention, identity, and desire in a fragmented world\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0GLNN9LYQ\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0GLNN9LYQ.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Boyd, Kevin\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
