Overview

Nietzsche declares God dead in 1852. So, who replaces God when God dies? The answer to this question requires a look into who murdered God and by what means. Did Philosophy murder God? Was it Science that murdered God? Was it both?The Death of God opens a space for a new God to reign over the earth. This new God is Google. Google is God But since God died, will Google eventually meet its own death? Will God die again?This book aims to answer these questions through an analysis of the psychological drives to create God and then, subsequently, murder Him, only to create a new one. A careful examination of the death of God and the advent of the New God illuminates the prospect of the eventual second death of God.A close reading of contemporary Google media illustrates Google's efforts to cover the globe with its image and thereby create a homogenized global population of Google people. What Christianity could not do, Google can do. Then one day when humans are pushed to absolute irrelevancy, no one will be there to sense Google.
