The book delves into the profound questions raised by the technological dimension of knowledge within the human dimension, as it produces an automated perception of social change, which has become commonplace in the electronic era where nothing is constant except change.

In addressing the issue of humanities and digital sciences (digital psychology and digital sociology), researcher Abdel Nour Idris discusses the internet's intrusion into human life and how it has co-opted our deepest feelings, which constitute the psychological map of a being. The "language of the heart" was the first emotion to surrender to technology. Dr. Abdel Nour Idris also speaks about the internet user's sense of belonging to their virtual community, without forgoing real responses from their digital society. He cites the example of the "Facebook community" and the balance of the "Facebook personality" that has shaken Arab societies. The book also transports us to electronic literature, which is open to all virtual possibilities. The digital text, while unsettling literary theory, attributes its literary effectiveness to reception—that is, to the interactive recipient (consumer-producer) who moves from the center to the margin without a reference point, where the margin can connect with the center only to weaken its authority and diminish the dominance of its tools.

Thus, the book concludes that digital discourse imposes its own logic and forms of manifestation, far from intellectual tyranny and the arrogance of print. The questions sparked by this internet-based discourse are unsettling and challenging to previous modes of thought, given this "spider web's" encroachment into all fields, where it can engulf all parties and margins, centering itself in a discourse of circles that respects only the circle of reception.
