Description: The spiritual crisis of the digital age is overload boredom. This book attends to sensation and emotion to show how our interior lives are radically reconfigured by information, stimulation, and choice overload. Sharday Mosurinjohn argues that the antidote is not withdrawal or resistance, but kedia, an ethic of care.

Brief description: Sharday C. Mosurinjohn is assistant professor in the School of Religion at Queen's University.

Review Quotes: "Sensitively and intelligently composed, The Spiritual Significance of Overload Boredom advances scholarship on contemporary boredom and digital life, whilst imaginatively exploring an ethics of care through which we might create and curate meaning in an overload age. An indispensable text for understanding the present condition" Ben Anderson, Durham University
