The evolution of ICTs is gradually transforming our postmodern habitat. We are witnessing the convergence of physical and virtual reality and the creation of a new environment, the so-called infosphere. It is likely that the evolution of ICTs will have a sweeping transformative impact on our conception of law: first, by multiplying the sources of norms (legal information); secondly, by introducing competition between different normative systems; thirdly, by changing the very reality that the law is intended to govern, through the re-ontologization of reality and changes in our notion of environment. Technological normativity is deeply embedded in our societies and democracies. We are thus not just moving from a State-based form of regulation towards multi-agent and multi-level forms of regulation that are technologically mediated. We are also experiencing a radical paradigm shift in our normative mind-set towards the representation of reality. Our normative beliefs are no longer rooted in and regulated solely according to a deep-seated, traditional representation of reality (i.e., the material objects of the world), but also according to its informational representation (i.e., virtual reality, informational entities, and streams of information).
