Review Quotes:
"Given that digital and religion are two pillars of modern culture in Asia, this is a timely exploration into a relationship that has not previously been covered in such detail...Han and Nasir provide an insightful look into the cultural impact of digitalisation and the complex and interconnected direction of modern religion." - Jan Wisniewski, Communication Director magazine, asia-pacific issue, Number 4/2015, p. 93
"The interdisciplinary approach in expanding on the historical, social, political and economic background provides valuable information for the reader in understanding the context of each case study. The choice of case studies are in line with the current discourse trends on religion and digital culture." - Denzil Chetty, University of South Africa, Journal for the Study of Religion
