Charter of Human Unavailability
How much humanity will remain when states have indexed and chipped the world's population, when algorithms learn to believe - and churches begin to love data and technology?
In "Chiped by God - When the Shadow of Knowledge is Control," a relentless panorama of our digitized present and future unfolds: from AI-supported surveillance structures to religious bureaucracies intoxicated by segregation and data to a society that is gradually surrendering its freedom to automated decision-making systems. The text combines theological depth with sociological analysis and technical clarity: the question of human unavailability becomes more urgent the closer digital technologies come to the body.
Where microchip implants, biometric recording, and digital indexes become the norm, humans are at risk of being reduced to patterns, scores, and exploitable data. What happens when the body becomes the chipped key to its data, when behavior and religious practice are quantified, and the line between sin, score, and social evaluation becomes blurred? And what reforms do society and the church need if they do not want to become moral copies of state surveillance, but rather preserve and protect their hope in the diversity of creation - especially against the logic of technical measurement?
This book is a wake-up call: against naive belief in technology and institutional inertia - and for a humane future in which dignity does not degenerate into a variable in an AI model. A responsible essay on power, morality, and machines - and on how we can enter a digital future freely and clearly without losing our humanity - even if the humanity of the planet is completely indexed.
