  Virtual reality (VR) has long been a concept of science fiction, but today, it is a rapidly evolving technology shaping industries, entertainment, and even human interactions. From its early beginnings as a theoretical concept to the sophisticated headsets and immersive environments of today, VR has transformed from a novelty into a powerful tool that influences the way people work, learn, and socialize. While the promise of virtual worlds seems limitless, there are also significant concerns about its long-term effects on society, privacy, and even human psychology.  
  The origins of VR date back further than most people realize. The idea of creating artificial environments that simulate reality can be traced back to the early 20th century. Flight simulators in the 1920s provided the first taste of what would later become VR training programs. In the 1960s, innovators such as Ivan Sutherland and Morton Heilig developed early prototypes of head-mounted displays and immersive cinema experiences. However, technological limitations prevented these early experiments from reaching mainstream adoption. It wasn’t until the late 20th and early 21st centuries that computing power, graphics capabilities, and internet connectivity made VR a viable and widely accessible technology.  
  Breakthroughs in VR hardware and software have enabled increasingly realistic and engaging experiences. High-resolution headsets, motion tracking, and artificial intelligence now allow users to step into digital environments that respond dynamically to their movements and actions. Industries ranging from gaming and entertainment to healthcare and education have embraced VR as a revolutionary tool. Doctors use VR to simulate surgeries, businesses conduct remote meetings in virtual spaces, and educators transport students to historical landmarks without ever leaving the classroom.

  In "From Within," Parabellum explores a future where humans transcend biological limitations through advanced medical technologies, nanobots, and brain implants. These enhancements allow people to live without illness, aging, or injury, and even communicate telepathically. Yet, these advancements divide society into factions with differing visions of humanity's future. Some pursue the creation of "perfect" humans, while others fear losing the essence of humanity. The power to alter DNA and design offspring with specific traits raises ethical dilemmas, challenging the natural order. As society splits into city-states, corporate territories, and virtual realms, governance becomes complex, with AI and collective decision-making shaping the world. "From Within" delves into the philosophical and ethical questions of identity, freedom, and responsibility in a world where scarcity and death are no longer constants. As humanity stands on the brink of even more incredible transformations, the struggle to define what it means to be "authentically human" continues, shaping the destiny of both enhanced and unchanged individuals. Amidst the tension and competition for resources, new philosophical and legal frameworks emerge, advocating for "morphological freedom"—the right to modify one's body. As traditional concepts like work, education, and family are redefined, humanity must navigate the challenges of this unprecedented era, seeking meaning and direction as they prepare for the next leap into the unknown.

  Although our planet faces numerous ecological crises, including climate change, many Christians continue to view their faith as primarily a "spiritual" matter that has little relationship to the world in which we live. But Steven Bouma-Prediger contends that protecting and restoring our planet is part and parcel of what it means to be a Christian. 
   
  Making his case from Scripture, theology, and ethics and including insights from the global church, Bouma-Prediger explains why Christians must acknowledge their identity as earthkeepers and therefore embrace their calling to serve and protect their home planet and fellow creatures. To help readers put an "earthkeeping faith" into practice, he also suggests numerous practical steps that concerned believers can take to care for the planet. 
   
  Bouma-Prediger unfolds a biblical vision of earthkeeping and challenges Christians to view care for the earth as an integral part of Christian discipleship.
