Our Will Be Done

1. Being among the just. 2. The four precepts of digital heaven. 3. First precept: In the Beyond we are all “equal”. 4. Second precept: Out there, in order to be first you can also be last. 5. Third precept: Nourish abundance. 6. Fourth precept: Be worthy, and it shall be given unto you. 7. Nemesis and salvation. 8. Desire for heroes. And magic. 9. What they seek most.
There is a longing for fairness. The Net oozes a deep desire to live in a fair community: among upright men and women who are honest, understanding, gallant, generous, enthusiastic, passionate, dedicated, reliable. The Internet is an expression of faith. In yourself. And in others. It’s no use hoping to enter the Kingdom of digital heaven in return for favours done. One enters after adopting a code of ethics with its roots in four precepts imitating the ones expressed in word and deed by a man called Jesus, now reviewed in the light of two thousand years of history.

1. The return: from Beyond to Earth.
2. The ultimate question. 3. Creative creators. 4. And may the spirit be with you . 5. For all Eternity. 6. He who is without sin...
Instead of striving to replicate the whole of earthly reality in the world of bits, we could also start the reverse process: trying to take into the Realworld all the noble and commendable things we have learnt to savour in the Beyondscreen. That way we could truly manage to create a form of fertilisation and bijective evocation between interior and exterior, real and virtual, physical and digital. What we experience there, in the Invisible, might teach us much about what it is really worth living, loving, fighting and suffering for here, on “this” side of the screen. Where we still live as flesh and bone and five senses.

Intellectuals and the People
|
|
|
|
|
The chapter develop a survey of the condition of intellectuals in contemporary society, seen as a fundamental contrast between a kind of intellectual that appropriates populist rhetoric as a mean of social recognition, delegitimizing the critical intellectual, the one who reassert the distinction between culture and politics.

Democracy as a Work of Art
|
|
|
|
|
The last chapter is a reflection on the production of contemporary Art, in particular on the work of Andy Warhol and Joseph Beuys, trying to draw out from it useful indications in direction of a more consistent democratic culture, in the times of triumphant populism.
