WINTER EDITION '25

TECHNOLOGY

SPIRITUALITY

& THE METACRISIS

OPEN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

DEADLINE: JANUARY 31, 2025

Why A Digital Anthology?

In an era where traditional institutions struggle to keep pace with technological change, we need new ways to make sense of our rapidly transforming world. This digital anthology represents more than just a collection of writings—it's an experiment in collective intelligence, bringing together diverse voices to explore the profound questions at the intersection of technology and human meaning-making.

We're experiencing a crisis of crises: climate change interweaves with AI acceleration, spiritual disconnection compounds institutional collapse. Each challenge amplifies the others, creating a metacrisis that demands new forms of understanding. No single perspective can capture the full complexity of these challenges—we need a plurality of voices, experiences, and insights.

Through this anthology, we aim to bridge disciplines and worldviews, creating a space where technologists can dialogue with philosophers, where ancient wisdom meets emerging futures, and where personal narratives illuminate systemic patterns. Whether through written word, spoken voice, or visual story, your unique perspective could help illuminate paths through our collective metacrisis.
