Teilhard de Chardin provides a metaphysical understanding to the ascending global communications network and the modern expansion of information. He views human culture as the evolutionary advancement from non-life to the “deployment of the noosphere” —Teilhard’s coinage for the materialization of a human thought membrane around the earth.
