A Religion of Progress has taken shape over the last 21 centuries, from the Enlightenment to present times. It is quite simple to follow a thread from Hermeticism to today, however, several facts have altered its content, therefore, reformulating some of its promises and vision of the world. This paper attempts to evaluate how that Religion of Progress has become a sort of Techno-Hermeticism 2.0. Digital technologies have redefined old hermetic myths into a high-tech religion with dire environmental consequencies. Some (...) of those myths are the resurrection of the bodies, the construction of the City of God, the Adamic universal language and so forth. Now religion must confront the upcoming collapse, however, it is unable to provide satisfactory answers. This goes for all the different churches, from accelerationists (Nick Land) to extinctionists and believers of digital solutionism. That leaves possible imaginative responses to that sociecological crisis without any relevant proposals. (shrink)

La tecnología se ha constituido como el gran tótem de nuestra era. Inmediatez, comodidad, automatización, todo el universo que rodea a la palabra "tecnología" remite a la esencia de un progreso. Andoni Alonso e Iñaki Arzoz buscan, a contrapelo de su tiempo y con gran agudeza, descralizar ese discurso apologético de las revoluciones tecnológicas. Su libro es el objeto de esta reseña.
