Moving across a wide range of disciplines, varying from philosophical anthropology and palaeontology to information theory, and from astrophysics to literary, film and new media studies, the author discusses our 'cyberspace odyssey' from a reflective position beyond euphoria and nostalgia. Taking Homer's Odyssey and Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey as his starting point, the author investigates the 'informatization of the worldview', focusing on its implications for our culture-arts, religion, and science-and, ultimately, our form of life. Reversely, these postgeographical and posthistorical technologies have started to colonize our bodies and minds. Through the rapid global implementation of information and communication technologies, a new realm for human experience and imagination has been disclosed. This book deals with the last stage of this fascinating journey: the exploration of cyberspace and cybertime.

The emergence of the hominids, more than five million years ago, marked the start of the human odyssey through space and time.
