Half-Life: The Decay of Reality by Abbé Jean-Pierre Boubée, SSPX


Booklet: At long last, a balanced and easy to read booklet about the cyber world! 

Many a parent is at a loss before the tsunami of screen devices which confronts them and their loved ones. These tools are designed to facilitate life, to offer information ready at our fingertips, to communicate with anyone all the time and everywhere.

The technological advancements of this age are undeniable. But have you ever stopped to consider how technology may be affecting different aspects of your life?

Half-Life: The Decay of Reality (2018) takes and unabashed look at the all too real consequences of day-to-day exposure to the digital world. It asks what its effects are on children, families, dating, marriage and even intelligence and thought processes, but especially peace of soul. Understanding the consequences of this digital age is key to living a better life and ultimately having a stronger faith. 

Half-Life: The Decay of Reality is originally published as Communications, écrans, internet, jeux vidéo... si on faisait le point! (2015, 4th edition, revised). 

Half-Life: The Decay of Reality is translated from the French by Ann Marie Temple. 

GREATER AND GREATER ISOLATION:
"By a kind of paradox, this constant presence of other people makes for a fragile construction of one's own personality...The riches to be found in genuine friendships become rare in this constant solicitation from all sides." - Fr Patrick Troadec, SSPX
