Greg Epstein, author of Tech Agnostic: How Technology Became the World's Most Powerful Religion, and Why It Desperately Needs a Reformation, draws striking parallels between tech culture and traditional faiths. From AI's "singularity" echoing prophetic narratives to Silicon Valley’s promises of salvation through innovation, Greg uncovers the profound influence of technology on our lives. He challenges us to rethink blind faith in progress, focus on genuine human connection, and navigate a future where ethics and empathy guide innovation.
