Coded Utopia of People in the Digital Cave

Abstract

The escape from the realities that began after the two great world wars brought about the formation of a new world of digital codes in the post-postmodern era, which incubated the last phase of post capitalism embedded within neo-liberalism. People both started to build their own worlds and lost the sense of reality by intertwining the alternative existences with the outside world. Post-truth and alternative reality have replaced reality, allowing new worlds to be created. However, the cost of this innovation is another enigma. In this period of personal reality, this variable world that the individual builds by either being in the center or outside of this reality has initiated an important discussion about what the world offers us. For this reason, in this article, the hyper realism stage that emerged in the aftermath of the merge of concepts of reality and unrealism with the Internet as a new escape phase will be examined.
