Abstract "What do human enhancement technology (HET) and artificial intelligence (AI) have to do with religion and sprituality? This book explores the intersection of HET and AI with spiritual health, Christianity, and ethics. Topics include warfare, robots, chatbots, moral bioenhancement, spiritual pyschotherapy, superintelligence, ecology, fasting, and psychedelics. Two sections comprise this book: the first section of five chapters addresses spirituality in relation to HET and AI, and the second section of six chapters addresses Christianity in relation to HET and AI."--Preface.
