The Message Back to exploring electronic consciousness. Some have wondered how the various aspects of the publication fit together. The sections of the publication form a complete system, which in turn is an extended argument for the existence of electronic consciousness as we see it. Media is at the top. It is the disseminator of ideas.
Trends are the products of media, the result of the culture that media helps to create.
Discourse on electronic consciousness is the glue that holds the publication together. It is a discussion of the ideas that are generated by media, but not exclusively by it. Ideas generated and discussed in Discourse become the basis for the discussion of politics and religion that are the foundation of E-Society. E-Society acts as an intersection between the various sections as well, Media and Trends, in addition to Discourse, become important sources of the mostly political and sociological discussions found there. No civilization is complete without the arts, yet we find the arts increasingly marginalized in all media, especially the Internet.
