Communication, imaginary, religionAbstract
The article seeks to investigate the roots of the connections that the contemporary cultural imaginary establishes between technology and spirituality. It analyzes the diverse representations that associate the technologies of the virtual with the religion, in particular the forms of Gnostic religiosity, as well as it suggests a taxinomy of the symbols and myths that circulate in the literature specialized in the subject and by the universe of the cyberculture.
