With the adoption of new informational technologies on a global scale the cyberspace has pervasively entered the lives of more than half of world’s population.
The incidence of digital code seems to have no boundaries and to invest every aspect of our existence, arranging our behaviours and translating our innermost desires, as well as fears, into data reserves available for indefinite uses.
Is it the digital infosphere a new model of environment hosting our interactions in a dimension located outside the space-time coordinates? Or simply the last technological articulation of the linguistic mammal’s peculiarity, capable from its very beginning to detach from what is current and to project itself beyond it through language?
