Book Circle participants are invited to consider the following discussion prompts, shared by Book Circle facilitator Dr. Kathy Stout:

For our next meeting, we will read the chapter titled "Technology and Christian Culture: An Oriental View" (pp.147–157). This is a timely piece as we are currently on the cusp of another technological revolution via AI. Please consider the following questions as you read: 1) Wu begins the chapter by describing the difference between the Eastern and Western mindsets on technology. Based on your observation on what is going on in different parts of the world, would you say that the difference still holds? Do China and the US, for instance, approach technology in different ways? 2) The tension between technology and Christian culture is ultimately a tension between our other-worldly aspirations and this-worldly obligations. Have you experienced or observed such a tension in your own professional life? 3) Does this chapter offer some inspiration as we continue to wrestle with the challenge of AI?
