Madeleine Chalmers

Madeleine Chalmers, a Lecturer in French Studies at the University of Leicester and author of *French Technological Thought and the Non-Human Turn*, dives into the intriguing link between Catholicism and contemporary technological thought. She explores how religious rhetoric influences secular discussions of agency and virtuality. Chalmers also examines the nuances of figurative language in understanding technology and reveals unexpected ties to surrealist thought. Her insights prompt a fresh look at literature's role in shaping modern attitudes towards technology.
