Set your flux capacitors to 2084, and join Bruce in a mind-bending exploration of the shape of spirituality to come. We need not take transhumanist fantasies seriously to benefit from reflection on the power of emerging interactive technologies to deepen and enhance genuinely embodied, integrally robust forms of psychospiritual and artistic practice. How might swarm suit nanotech, immersive VR/AR environments, dream recording, and other near-future technologies transform the ways we wake up, grow up, clean up, and show up? Can these technologies unlock the transformative potentials of body, ritual, dialogue, and art without leading to dependency or spiritual materialism? Whatever our feelings about the relationship of technology and meaningful human life — whether technological thinking is a dead end, as Heidegger suspected, or a potential adjunct for deepening poetic attunement — these are some of the questions we must grapple with this century.
