  • First Online:

Abstract

“Culture” is a concept that is often used by the mankind. In traditional sense, “culture”, especially the printing culture in the past few centuries, comprises a relatively rigorous symbol system. The more profound and broad the culture is, the bigger and more precise the symbol system grows.

    In 1984, William Gibson, an American sci-fi author who immigrated to Canada, wrote a novel titled Neuromancer, in which he designed priori an online loner named Case who is hired by a multinational company and assigned to carry out a highly risky task in the space comprised of global computer networks. To enter this huge and new computer space, Case doesn’t need any vehicle. He only needs to plant a socket in his brain and connect it with electric pole, and he can perceive the computer network. There is no mountain or river, town or village in this new space, only immense 3D information and the high-speed flow of all kinds of information. Gibson called it the Cyberspace.
