Endorsements for Flickering Pixels:“It’s a rare feat for a work to keep teaching and informing and blowing your mind, page after page after page. Shane Hipps has the extraordinary ability to articulate, explain, and educate as to why we should be very, very careful to uncritically embrace the latest offerings from the gods of technology.” —
Rob Bell “This book is a masterful exposé of our media-saturated world and its hidden influence. But it also contains the seeds of a creative response that could change everything. Shane Hipps points us toward a hidden path out of the media maze that we can’t afford to miss.” —
Andy Crouch, Author, Culture Making “Shane Hipps pulls back the curtain on technology—exposing the subconscious influences that wreak havoc on our existence. It’s brilliant, eye-opening, and a must-read for any thoughtful person pursuing a countercultural life in the digital age.” —

Description: Flickering pixels are the tiny dots of light that make up the screens of life—from TVs to cell phones.
They are nearly invisible, but they change us.
In this provocative book, author Shane Hipps takes readers beneath the surface of things to see how the technologies we use end up using us.
Not all is dire, however, as Hipps shows us that hidden things have far less power to shape us when they aren’t hidden anymore. We are only puppets of our technology if we remain asleep. Flickering Pixels will wake us up—and nothing will look the same again.
