Hello,
Can someone please explain me this sentence? What does "enshrined on his altar" mean?
And according to him, we have entered an age that’s a far cry from that of the PC enshrined on his altar to beige-box antiquity. Consumers and workers have been gripped, he says, by a “gizmo revolution.”

I agree about the definition of antiquity, but "his altar" is correct. The "he" of the following sentence is the one who has set up the altar.
