Description
Can our spirituality be explained through the use of technology?
In his first book, Spirituality 101, Dr. Ivan Figueroa-Otero presents a guide to self-understanding while closing the apparent gap between the religious and scientific vision with an eclectic and original delivery.
This version (1.2) is a deliciously funny, tongue-in-cheek update, where every concept, idea, image and advice is carefully defined with technological elements like virtual domains, bits, and RAM. Here, the questions, Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going? the human race has been studying for centuries are explained in a way accessible to anyone with a smartphone or a computer.
“Imagine our Universe as a big computer, where the quality of its computation is directly proportional to the quality of the input data. And where every programming error is reversible and re-programmable, with a little bit of patience!”

Advance Praise
Acclaimed author Dr. Ivan Figueroa-Otero has done it again – after the success of his self-published first book, Spirituality 101, he has reinvented and updated his concepts in Spirituality 1.2: For The Disconnected from the School of Life, this time intended for the “tekkie” and the younger generation. Otero brilliantly bridges spirituality with science, using technological ideas and terminology (data, bits, RAM, the Cyber Network) as metaphors and analogies to philosophical and scientific concepts that are at times quite huge to grasp altogether. He does this smoothly in Spirituality 101, and does not disappoint in Spirituality 1.2. What’s more, his playful presentation (such as his tongue-in-cheek explanations, tests, reviews and final exam) easily opens up readers to better comprehension.
While meant to reach out to younger audiences, it is nonetheless a great read for techies of varying ages, what with the ideas presented (and more so its accompanying realizations) being timeless and sound pieces of advice. It will not come as a surprise if the effects of his book become far reaching in the spirituality category.
