Hello World :) Welcome to Faith and the Machine, my blog that engages with our world and universe. I'm J. Hendriks, author of the upcoming Godbot Crusade series, and I'm thrilled you've found your way here. This little corner of the internet is where I'll be exploring the intricate dance between faith and technology, both in our reality and in the pages of my books. Why "Faith and the Machine," you ask? Well, I've always been fascinated by how our beliefs shape our interaction with technology, and vice versa. It's a relationship as old as the first tool and as new as the latest AI breakthrough. In the Godbot Crusade series, I take this interplay to cosmic proportions, but here on this blog, we'll be a little more grounded. What can you expect from this blog? A bit of everything, really. We'll dive into the philosophical quandaries posed by advancing tech, explore how we and our faith are adapting to our digital age, and yes, I'll share some behind-the-scenes peeks at the Godbot Crusade series too. Whether you're a tech enthusiast, a seeker of spiritual wisdom, a sci-fi fan, or just someone curious about the world around us, I hope you'll find something here that makes you think, wonder, or smile.
