    Annotation The cybertopias of the future combine two traditional mechanisms of utopian thinking: belief in the scientific progress and technologies capable of freeing life from restrictions restraining creative freedom (utopianism) and simultaneously criticizing a technological society with its dehumanizing potential (dystopism). In the context of virtual utopia, technology is becoming a way of transforming the individual and improving society, on the one hand, and a tool of human self-knowledge and a field of critical understanding of the negative consequences of global technologization, on the other hand. Technological change reconstructs the human community to such an extent that it gives rise to the concept of digital utopia - «digitopia« - due to the peculiarities of development and implementation of the Internet technologies in the everyday life of mankind. This article includes an attempt to teach cyberspace as a product of human creativity itself, which will allow studying the virtual reality more accurately and impartially: both the current present of the information society and its possible future
    Keywords Cyberspace, utopia, dystopia, digitopia , techno-romantic utopia, en-topia.
