Homo informaticus. Between reality and digit

Homo informaticus, the information person — a new "species" forming on our planet right now. What are its characteristics, how does it differ from Homo sapiens, and most importantly — what is its fate? The author offers answers to all these profound philosophical and at the same time practical questions that concern each of us directly. As a journalist and science writer dealing with a vast amount of diverse information, he unobtrusively provides the reader with the opportunity to consider a variety of ideas and concepts regarding the cosmos, the nature of human consciousness, the behind-the-scenes processes occurring in the world, the structure of the universe, the origin of humanity, and the properties of the "higher self" — in order to rid oneself of thought patterns, attempt to view this world impartially, and find one’s own meanings in the information chaos that surrounds us today, meanings that are not imposed by anyone or anything.
