In the previous century, most people expected that the rise of technology would lead to the rationalization, secularization and disenchantment of society. Ten to twenty years before YK2, however, a motley crowd of New Agers, SF-writers, hackers and “digirati” began to imagine a ‘New Age’ in which cyberspace was portrayed as a new version of heaven – an immaterial place where people can ‘get rid of the meat’ and attain disembodied immortality and omniscience, in a Gnostic fusion of the self with the divine realm of information. These were not isolated visions. The Internet is overflowing with the websites and chat-boxes of the spiritually inclined. Online computer games display Tolkienesque environments filled with monsters, magicians and other-worldly possibilities. Are these exceptions, or does computer technology actually encourage re-enchantment rather than disenchantment? The project “Cyberspace Salvations” researches such questions, to assess the nature and history of the elective affinities between computer technology and modern spiritualities, and find out how important these are for our present and future.
