Pierre Lévy, Tunisian historian, philosopher and sociologist, member of the Academy of Sciences of Canada and director of the Research Chair in Collective Intelligence at the University of Ottawa, is world-renowned as a "philosopher of cyberspace", a pioneer in the study and contributions on the development and implications of collective intelligence in society through a medium such as the Internet. He is also recognized as one of the greatest scholars of virtual culture in the world. Author, among others, of works such as: La machine univers (1987), The dynamic ideography (1991), The technologies of intelligence (1994), What is virtual? (1995), Cyberculture (1997) and Cyberdemocracy (2004). The text of Cyberculture corresponds to a report presented in 1997 before the Council of Europe on the cultural implications of digital communication and information technologies. Although some techniques and devices have lagged behind after ten years, however, their approaches to this "fundamentally humanistic project" (p.174) continue to be valid for contemporary culture connected to the Internet.
