Following the monumental "Futurica Trilogy" comes a publication that dares to describe individualism as the now defunct religion it always was and illustrate possible that is mostly virtual, rather than physical. While the authors do not head challenging the reader's view of the self applied and the world, their main purpose here is to induce passive receivers into the future to become more vigorous participants. This work offers interesting observations and perceptive interpretations of modern world.
Alexander Bard and Jan Söderqvist are Swedish philosophers and authors of the internationally successful "Futurica Trilogy". They lecture the world over about the existing global internet revolution. Bard & Söderqvist are thought to be pioneers in the literary genre futurica, where beliefs, social theory and futurology merge.
After signing up for pushes in the late 1990s, Bard & Söderqvist argued that the interactive revolution is the most deep and radical of all scientific revolutions in the annals of mankind, so it completely transforms world in every aspect: politics, the overall economy, culture, social power set ups, the collective world view and the complete concept of being human.
Bard & Söderqvist confirmed the consequences of network dynamics on various degrees of a globalised world. They not only made controversial predictions in the early years of the new millennium (and cleverly foresaw both dot.com crash and the Sept 11 terror episodes), they have since then been proven right in nearly every aspect and even in the most tiny of details. Not only does Bard & Söderqvist foresee innovative innovations such as Yahoo, Facebook, Al-Qaida and Wikileaks; in addition they went deeper and investigated the very power struggle of the on-going revolution itself.
Bard & Söderqvist are actually back with a proposal for a complete new metaphysics for the digital time, which is called "Syntheism: Creating God in The Internet Age".
