Sun. 02/01 11a: Nathan Schneider, author of two books: God in Proof: The Story of a Search from the Ancients to the Internet and Thank You, Anarchy: Notes from the Occupy Apocalypse. He’s published widely as a commentator. And he’s an editor and columnist in print and online for America magazine, “Killing the Buddha” and “Waging Nonviolence,” and the Social Science Research Council's “The Immanent Frame.”
There is a kind of brilliance that flashes up in early adulthood: an ability to see the world whole. Nathan Schneider has been able to articulate and sustain that far-seeing eye of young adulthood. He’s also a gifted writer, chronicling the world he and his compatriots are helping to make — spiritual, technological, communal. Could the growing number of non-religious young people be a force for the renewal of spiritual traditions? How might the internet of the future look utterly different from the internet of now? And what did the Occupy Movement really tap into and what has it become below the radar?
