From a post at the Huge Entity;

'New technologies are creating a new wilderness, a realm that
humans can wander in without ever understanding. The emergence of a virtual
wilderness does not compensate for the loss of the earthly one that humans are
destroying; but it is like it in being unknowable by them. The new wilderness is
a pathway leading beyond the borders of the human world.' - John Gray, Straw Dogs

''As the simulacra of our world manifest themselves anew in the interweaving 'wilderness' of the internet we are beginning to cast off our attempts to objectify reality and embrace new forms of our own creation. ...In this transcendent realm, an undiscovered New World far surpassing that breached by the global explorers of 500 years hence, all manner of possibilities will fold themselves from the infinity; evolving perspectives seething out of the digital ether. In cyberspace science, religion, spirituality will lose their meaning as a multitude of godlike entities manifest themselves from our imaginations.''

Having read quite a bit recently on the age of wonder fuelled by the exploration of the New World, I am intrigued by the notion that the internet may form a new unknowable realm of discovery.
The article also touches on the power of story-narrative in giving meaning to the human condition, and suggests for the emergence of a new global narrative that, by combining the old stories, could unify all people. Optimistic?
