Abstract

The article offers information about technological revolution and Utopian ambitions of Silicon Valley as its craves for monopoly which stretches back to the counter-culture of the 1960s. It discusses issues about the Utopian visions, which are grounded in anarchic idealism and are considered the antithesis of the conservative understanding of civil society, as well as the Silicon Valley program which involves transhumanism and artificial intelligence.
