A History of Space

More about the book

Margaret Wertheim delves into the intersection of spirituality and cyberspace, arguing that the digital realm has evolved into a sanctuary for profound spiritual longing. She posits that modern technology serves as a metaphysical escape from the discontent of materialism, allowing for a collective experience that transcends physical limitations. This exploration highlights a return to a dualistic worldview, contrasting the tangible physical world with an ethereal space governed by thoughts and emotions, reminiscent of medieval philosophical concepts.
