New Book Explores How Artificial Intelligence and Mass Media Threaten Spiritual Life

“Spiritual Zombie Apocalypse” Offers Philosophical Framework for Protecting Human Dignity in the Digital Age

MANLIUS, NY – 29th Jan 2026 – William Fedorich, a regulatory compliance expert with over 15 years of executive legal counsel experience, announces the release of “Spiritual Zombie Apocalypse: How Mass Media and Artificial Intelligence Endanger Our Spiritual Lives.” The book delivers a timely examination of how algorithmic systems and artificial intelligence are reshaping human consciousness and threatening authentic spiritual formation.

Drawing on classical philosophy, medieval scholasticism, and contemporary technology ethics, Fedorich presents a compelling case that the digital systems pervading modern life do far more than distract—they fundamentally alter how humans relate to themselves, to each other, and to transcendent meaning. The book argues that algorithmic manipulation, surveillance capitalism, and AI-driven content are creating conditions hostile to the interior life necessary for genuine spiritual growth.

“We are witnessing an unprecedented assault on human interiority,” says Fedorich. “The same technologies promising connection and convenience are systematically undermining the contemplative space essential to spiritual life. This book offers both a diagnosis and a path forward.”

Key themes explored in the book include:

  • The mechanisms by which algorithmic systems capture attention and fragment consciousness
  • How AI-generated content threatens authentic human creativity and expression
  • The philosophical foundations for evaluating technology’s impact on human dignity
  • Practical strategies for cultivating spiritual resilience in an increasingly digital world
