“Ems’s research offers a fascinating window into what an incremental and thoughtful approach could begin to look like for non-Amish and how to navigate ongoing digital technology pressure—reminding us that we do, in fact, have a choice.”
—Mennonite Quarterly Review
“Well-researched and engagingly narrated.”
—Technology and Culture
“Virtually Amish offers a detailed and insightful exploration of how digital technology has already made its presence—and its perils—known in Amish communities…. Informative, well-researched, and entertaining.”
