Abstract

Media mediated public discourse displays black holes predicted by the uncertainty principle. Future events are as unpredictable as a sparrow hanging on a branch in Witold Gombrowicz’s ‘Cosmos’. Welcome to the network society, to homo informaticus, to a digital infosphere with transhumanist echo of social media. ‘METOO’, anyone?
