Humanity in the Digital Sublime is a collection of texts within the fields of cultural and media studies that delve into the concept of “the digital sublime”, which refers to the mythologization of the impact of computers and cyberspace on human experiences of time, space and power. It is a philosophical conception of emotions that captivate the collective conscience with the emergence of these new technologies and the promises and predictions that emerge from them. In the fine arts, the sublime characterizes greatness beyond calculation and comprehension. This category of the arts encompasses that which emulates the strongest emotions of the mind.
