Sherry Turkle investigates the profound influence of the emerging 'computer culture' on both children and adults. She argues that pervasive computing fosters a new wave of mechanical determinism while simultaneously sparking a renewed interest in mysticism and spirituality. Through analysis of psychological aspects, self‑perception, and the broader relationship between technology and civilization, Turkle illuminates the complex ways in which computers are transforming human thought and society.
