To search other fields for what only the gospel can give is dangerous, as the story of Leverage illustrates. And while Leverage is a spectacular example, there is no reason to believe the will of malevolent powers is not enacted by the stuff of ordinary life: corporate fads and commercials, trending posts on social media, or especially, emerging technologies. I am not a luddite, but the internet is a very effective demon dispensary, and we are now witnessing an entire generation become captive to the egregore. Escha-tech—the transhumanist eschatology of Silicon Valley—leaks. We don’t consult the medium of Endor anymore, but we are still summoning things from realms that we should not be dealing with.
