This is a very interesting read to me, simply because the timing was perfect with my reading of "The Religion of Technology" by David Noble.
In "The Religion of Technology" he argues that advancement through technology is completely meshed with religious myths (and not separated nor antithetical from religion), the redemption/salvation arc, attempting to become more divine through God-like powers we have gained through technology (nuclear weapons for destruction, AI for immortality).
It's a very, very interesting book from 1999 which feels much more contemporary than that.
