Challenging classical metaphysics, Paić explores how cybernetics, autopoiesis, and visualization reshape our understanding of art, the body, and Being itself. Through a synthesis of philosophy, contemporary art theory, and technoscience, the book argues that the technosphere is not merely a technological environment but a new ontological condition—one that redefines freedom, embodiment, and the human in terms of synthetic cognition and algorithmic life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpanning topics from chaos and entropy to transgenic art and the ethics of war, Paić constructs a compelling vision of the posthuman condition, where singularity replaces God and ontology dissolves into code. This book is essential reading for scholars of digital aesthetics, visual studies, posthumanism, and contemporary philosophy, offering a provocative framework for understanding art and existence in the era of planetary computation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eŽarko Paić\u003c\/strong\u003e is a retired full professor at the School of Fashion Design, University of Zagreb, Croatia, where he taught aesthetics, fashion, media theory, and visual studies.
