  • «If you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you» is the quote which James Cameron put as the epigraph for his film The Abyss (undeservedly lost against the backdrop of the Terminator and Titanic). In fact, it was then that he discovered the element of water and in view of this he remained «the Onlooker» for a long time. We see the episode of a solitary dive into the Mariana Trench in his eye. Interestingly, in the last century, futurist writers predicted the onset of the «cyber-south» era. Artificial intelligence, which got out of control and declared war on the creator, became a favorite plot of science fiction writers in the 80s and 90s, resulting, particularly, in James Cameron’s cult screen adaptation. The future has arrived and the prophecy has come true. The war between people and machines has been going on for a long time, however, not with the help of drones and cyborgs. Today’s strategy of «Skynet» is, under the guise of advancements in information technologies, to throw humanity, whose intellect has been transported in digital luggage, back to the caves of the cyber-neolith, where the only thing that remains is to lonely and timidly huddle against the cold flickering screen of an electronic gadget.
