evolutionary step. Well, to us now the means by which this consciousness shift would accelerate has become obviouus.'

She approached the diagram and touched the diaphanous edge between the biosphere and the noosphere circles, end it smoothly transformed into a vibrant violet edge so that the full diagram ended up as follows: The vision of Teilhard de Chardin Role of the Cybersphere 'The cybersphere is simply the link between Teilhard's noosphare end its destination, it is the virtual space in which human consciousness towards integration has been able to manifest itself. It plays a role similar to the one the lithosphere has been playing for the biosphere. All life forms use inert chemical components of the lithosphere and reorganise them to create their physical life support systems. When computer technicians in the 20th century thought they were just cresting a computer network, they were in fact creating an additional dimension and a now type or space.

'In retrospect, the last decades of the 20th century play a role similar to what biologist have called the Cambrian explosion. Five hundred and fifty million years ago a sudden mutation occurred in me biomass: single-cell life saw a burst of biological diversity and complex multi-cellular organisms proliferated. Hundreds of million years later, the emergence of photosynthesis, and later still the joint appearance of sexual reproduction and individual death were similar milestones. Evolution apparently undergoes such quantum transformations. From this perspective, life has entered digital space using humanity as a surrogate. In the cybsrsphere life is freed from the confines of slow molecular recombination, can travel at the speed of light, even off this planet as needed...
