Welcome! This is a place for thinking about religion, science, and technology — and most of my commentary on that subject is in the blog linked at the top of the page.
I am Dr. Robert M Geraci, Professor of Religious Studies at Manhattan College and author of Apocalyptic AI: Visions of Heaven in Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Robotics (Oxford University Press, 2010), Virtually Sacred: Myth and Meaning in World of Warcraft and Second Life (Oxford University Press, 2014), Temples of Modernity: Nationalism, Hinduism, and Transhumanism in South Indian Science (Lexington 2018), Futures of Artificial Intelligence: Perspectives from India and the U.S. (Oxford 2022).
The tabs up above include links to my work, a minimalist archive of my online presence, the aforementioned blog, and information for those wishing to retain me as a guest lecturer, public speaker, or consultant (in the videogame industry or perhaps in some new way).
If you’re looking to follow my work, find access to my research articles, or keep connected in a professional network, you can find me on Academia.edu. I’m occasionally on Twitter and LinkedIn (but I accept friend invites on the latter only after I know someone…so send an actual message on LinkedIn or email if you’re hoping to connect).
