Shahrukh Khan - Still Reading Khan

Un giorno non ci saremo più. Ma rimarranno online tutte le tracce che abbiamo lasciato, la nostra storia a portata di click: dai profili social ai nostri ricordi più intimi. Senza accorgercene, Internet si è riempito di fantasmi digitali, account inattivi pronti a ricordarci la loro esistenza: ecco cosa significa vivere (e morire) nell'era social. Il lutto non è più un'esperienza privata: si è espanso nel mondo virtuale esattamente come tutto il resto, ridefinendo la nostra relazione con la perdita e la memoria.

For fashion journalist Lauren (“LoLo”) Scruggs, a short flight to look at Christmas lights turned into a nightmare when she was struck by the plane’s spinning propeller blades. As Lauren was rushed to the hospital, fighting for her life, the world watched in shock and horror. Several major surgeries and thousands of prayers later, Lauren was still alive. But she had suffered brain trauma and lost her left hand and left eye. Some thought that this would be the end of everything for her, a beautiful young woman working in an industry focused completely on appearance. They were wrong.

But Gushee's religious pilgrimage proves even broader than that, as he leads his listener through his childhood experiences in Roman Catholicism, his difficult days at the liberal Union Seminary in New York, his encounters with the Christian Right, and more. In telling his story, Gushee speaks to the cultural divisions of a generation.
