Abstract
This chapter explains the intentions of the book Hyperconnectivity and Digital Reality: Towards the Eutopia of Being Human and why it responded to the book The Onlife Manifesto: Being Human in a Hyperconnected Era (Floridi in The Onlife Manifesto. Springer International Publishing, pp. 21–24, 2015). It sketches out the background to the production of the Onlife Manifesto to show why it was important to explore hyperconnectivity and how the authors of the present book have explored the social and ethical implications of the hyperconnected information technology future.
