Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on the phenomenon of digital culture. Through the prism of Jungian psychology, it looks at the madness of imagopathy. The virtual world transcends the boundaries between wakefulness and dream, between rational and mythical thought. This is the world of samsara, governed by the law of enantiodromia. Freud believed that people unconsciously want their own destruction. The final destructiveness rational order is based on the famous antiutopias, „Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley and „The Circle” by Dave Eggers. Conclusion: Everything is a myth. Rational thought is an illusion.
