Publisher Description

Flickering pixels are the tiny dots of light that make up the screens of life--from TVs to cell phones. They are nearly invisible, but they change us.

In this provocative book, author Shane Hipps takes readers beneath the surface of things to see how the technologies we use end up using us.

Not all is dire, however, as Hipps shows us that hidden things have far less power to shape us when they aren't hidden anymore. We are only puppets of our technology if we remain asleep.

Flickering Pixels will wake us up--and nothing will look the same again.

"Interesting book. Discussing current technological trends and how the medium effects the message. Would have liked more practical suggestions on how to combat that, but at the very least it will cause you to evaluate how and who you are presenting the Gospel to and how they may and could be receiving it."

    " Similar to Postman and McLughhan. A commentary on technology and culture. Hipps adds thoughts on religion to the discussion. He strays from this topic near the end. Easy to read on an interesting topic. "

    " Truly fascinating stuff. And laced with humor. Makes me really aware of the impact technology has on me and the way I think. We'll see where he goes with it.... "

    " Very good reflections on both the way that technology effects interpersonal relationship and faith, but also, influenced by Marshall McLurhan, how the chruch is both Gods medium and message to the world. Short chapters make good reading at bed time. "

    " An interesting sociology of digital communication. Think 'Marshall McLuhan for those following Jesus in the early 21st century'. His writing stretched my thinking although I did not come up with identical conclusions in every case. Well crafted. "
