As a prime example of the XXI century’s rapid evolutionary speed, cyberspace is by itself the subject of a broad array of theoretic studies, as wide as the plethora of characters present in it. In fact, if once cyberspace was perceived as an epithet for Man’s freedom, in an indelible utopian and anarchic vision, on the other hand, it was also pictured as just a network, connected to the physical space and dependent on it. Ruling this understanding out, cyberspace may be indeed seen as a space, although one not defined nor narrowed by Cartesian or Euclidean terms. It is rather an extension of the much more tangible physical space. More: it is a heterotopia, an “other space”, which gives lines to unknown features to the space we live in. This has repercussions throughout society and an impact on Mankind. It lacks regulatory legal instruments (based on consensuses between virtual communities and States) in order to generate and maintain good connections between gradually virtualized communities which highlight the rise of a new era: post-humanity.
