Synopsis

Featuring a Foreword by Mikey Siegel, founder of Consciousness Hacking.

Technology can now control the spiritual experience. This is a journey through the high-tech aids for psychological growth that are changing our world, while exploring the safety, authenticity and ethics of this new world.

We already rely on technology to manage our health, sleep, relationships, and finances, so it’s no surprise that we’re turning to technological aids for the spiritual journey. From apps that help us pray or meditate, to cybernauts seeking the fast track to nirvana through magnetic brain stimulation, we are on the brink of the most transformative revolution in the practice of religion: an era in which we harness the power of “spirit tech” to deepen our experience of the divine.

Spirit tech products are rapidly improving in sophistication and power, and ordinary people need a trustworthy guide. Through their own research and insiders’ access to the top innovators and early adopters, Wesley J. Wildman and Kate J. Stockly take you deep inside an evolving world:

- Find out how increasingly popular “wearables” work on your brain, promising a shortcut to transformative meditative states.
- Meet the inventor of the “God Helmet” who developed a tool to increase psychic skills, and overcome fear, sadness, and anger.
- Visit churches that use ayahuasca as their sacrament and explore the booming industry of psychedelic tourism.
- Journey to a mansion in the heart of Silicon Valley where a group of scientists and entrepreneurs are working feverishly to bring brain-based spirit tech applications to the masses.
- Discover a research team who achieved brain-to-brain communication between individuals thousands of miles apart, harnessing neurofeedback techniques to sync and share emotions among group members.

Spirit Tech offers listeners a compelling glimpse into the future and is the definitive guide to the fascinating world of new innovations for personal transformation, spiritual growth, and pushing the boundaries of human nature.

Talk about a book right up my alley, Spirit Tech is all about a newly emerging, and understudied field, the intersection between spirituality and technological augmentation. Both “spirituality” and “Technology” have pretty broad definitions within this book. For example on the spiritual side we lear......more

Great book It is a very academic book. It took focused concentration and determination to get through it, and I feel I need to continue studying it to understand it fully. I'm a good reader. This is a new branch of science with as many factors to study as there are human brain cells. I'd love the sam......more

Goodreads review by wade

Some people will love this book but I am not one of them. It is a cutting edge look at methods one might use to connect more deeply with one's inner self. This includes various forms of brain stimulation such as machines that zap the brain with waves, virtual reality devices and in the final chapte......more
