The author considers the possibility to construct of the “information”
metatheory of contemporary society in this monograph. The process of the
appearance virtual and actual social spaces and the break the society into social
actuality and social reality is investigated. The effect of information resonance
is revealed. The author formulates and checks a hypothesis about the break of
social space and tries to find out the social subjects of this break. The
connection between the sharp growth of volumes of information and the
intensity of information streams, - and formation of a break of the social space
is revealed. Reorganization of the social interaction system is revealed and
transformation it into actual and virtual social actions system is shown.
The process of becoming a new social order on the basis of a new type of
the system element – virtual social action – is analyzed. The author comes to
the conclusion that the increasing risks, individualization and disorder in
modern society are caused by “information resonance” and bifurcation of the
system of a social action into actual and virtual. The hypothesis about the
information source of the social instability of contemporary society is tested.
The mechanism, identified characteristics and stages of the break of social
space, as well as the agents forming strata of virtual social space are examined.
Special attention is paid to computer dependence and dependence on
virtual reality, the appearance of psychosocial deprivation as result of virtual
interaction and the consequences of “information explosion”. A “triune matrix”
of grounds of the historical process integrity is revealed. The author contends
that any separate society (small or empire) is not be able to develop
successfully and has nо a future without, at first, disintegrating and then
integrating again on new principles. The possibility of applying the main
provisions of quantum theory to explain the phenomenon of a multiplicity of
social worlds is considered. The idea of “quantum sociology” is expressed.

of M. Castells and S. Lash, the desire to develop ideas
which motivated me to explore theoretical issues of the
information society. A big event in my creative work I think
familiarity with the book of S. Lash "Critique of Information”,
ideas which have strengthened my belief in the need to pay
special attention to the theory. The search for a new approach to
the interpretation of the radical transformations of modern
society was encouraged by researches of U. Beck and
Z. Bauman, especially those where transformations directly or
indirectly the authors explained the effects of microelectronic
technologies or increasing volumes of information and
knowledge. I also don't forget lectures M. Castells in the
Moscow Higher courses in sociology May 1990 year, listener
whom I happened to be. Notes of these lectures file so far.
They became the impulse for my future scientific specialization.
Correspondence, and then personal acquaintance with M. Castells occasionally, though rarely, resumed correspondence. I am
grateful to M. Castells, for his tips that helped me back in 90
years to begin to teach at Novosibirsk State Technical University
special course "Sociology of the information society".
I am grateful to undergraduate and graduate students who
participated in the special seminar for a discussion of some
important parts of my author's conception. I would especially
like to mention the valuable comments made my post-graduate
T.V. Vladimirova, A.N. Stepanova, F.I. Rozanov and S.A. Kuzin.
I am grateful for the preparation of my students V.V. Sidelnikova and E.S. Chueva empirical materials that were used in

writing this book. I am also grateful to all students at the
Department of Sociology at NSTU for your attention to my
special course, listeners whom they had all these years and for
new ideas which they expressed when writing their works.
Many useful and critical observations were made by my
colleagues at the Department of Sociology.
To formulate the basic conceptual situation helped me
connect with peers of the Sociology Department of Moscow
State University – professors A.K. Mamedov and I.N. Chudnovskaya – who supported the need to develop a general theory
of information society. I am grateful to colleagues in the
Department of Sociology, St. Petersburg State University for
providing the opportunity to discuss my presentations at
scientific conferences. Special thanks to express professor
D.V. Ivanov, with whom I have long-standing friendships, for
supporting the initiative to develop an information theory of
modern society, despite the fact that our approaches often did not
match.
My sincere thanks to Marcus Schulz, professor "University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign" (United States), Chairman of
the Research Committee "Future Research" of International
Sociological Association (ISA), for the opportunity to speak at
the international sociological congresses and conferences. To
clarify my position, and many important aspects of the concept
was influenced by discussions with my colleague and friend
professor B.S. Sivirinov. Its support is largely provided a way
out of this book.
Thanks to E.A. Palceva for technical text decoration. I am
also grateful to the Director of the “NSTU-Publishing House”
P.V. Yatskevich for inviting to publish this book.

in social theory. The immediate reason for writing this book is
caused by desire to acquaint the reader with ideas to encourage
the author to publish articles in recent years on the social impact
of informatization developments in social structure.
I think that the potential arising over the past half-century of
fundamental social theories are largely exhausted. It is
recognized that the merit of T. Parsons, U. Beck, P. Bourdieu,
A. Giddens, Z. Bauman, etc., the authors of original
sociological theories, is to build a general sociological models
of late industrial society. Premonition, but only feeling the
onset of this society is reflected in the works of representatives
of sociology postmodernity, first of all, J.-F. Lyotard,
J. Baudrillard, J. Deleuze, F. Guattari, etc. However, a
breakthrough to a new paradigm is associated with the
appearance of the works of M. Castells and S.Lash, which was
first fixed the prospect of rethinking the role of information in
the restructuring of the basic foundation of society. The new
paradigm is not epistemological and methodological and
ontological foundation. In my opinion, it is the transformation
of information into a substance of society requires review
ontological foundation of the theory of modern society.

in today's world is a premonition of a new revolution
PREFACE 10
The author is aware that, in a sense, embarked on the
presentation of heretical views on social ontology. However,
accumulated in the phenomenological studies of modernity
material and some breakthroughs in social ontology and the
theory of recent years gave me reason to give their views.
The impression that further penetration deep into the social
matter "stalls". In science remains an illusion, that we all know
about the structure of society and it is fixed in a general
sociological theory. Based on this theory, it remains only to
interpret new phenomena and processes, which do not cancel or
change the fundamental principles of the social system devices.
Therefore, the primary function of the theory is to explain facts
as a manifestation of significant parties of the structure of
society. In the process of explaining these facts are organized
by general theory. So there are "middle range theories". They
only confirm the invariability of the basic structure of the social
system. It is a constant, unfailing in space and time. However,
social theory, all can no longer explain the phenomena and
processes which had not previously encountered. This
confusion and, in particular, has become a cause of sociology
postmodernity.
In my opinion, the time has come to review the foundations
of social, more precisely, what happened to them lately.
Empirical sociology long gives a hint, but it does not take into
account. And it is well studied in sociology "layers" of the
social organism already rebuilt their configuration. Shifting
"tectonic plates" of social life. Swapped the material and ideal.
All kinds of artifacts are rapidly giving way to one artifact is
symbolic of peace, as a purely artificial and constructed by
imagination. Artificial increasingly incapacitates natural from
functions in substance. Information becomes the substance of
the social.
The author proposes to discuss a new ontology of the social.
More specifically, ontology of new social - informational
ontology.
Due to rising technology and new knowledge the
information explosion has opened new perspectives for
